“Glimpse of Us” is the first musical offering from Joji as a lead artist since the release of his second studio album, Nectar, in September 2020. On the track, Joji compares his current relationship to the connection he felt with a past lover, unable to forget the feelings he had in his past while with his current partner.

Joji first teased the track on June 6, 2022, with an Instagram story revealing that new music would be coming later that week. That same day, he then posted the song’s title and cover art, along with a pre-save link for the single.
