I guess that's fair, it does kind of make Joji himself seem more shallow. But the song itself and the people who wrote it certainly aren't shallow and they deserve a ton of credit, especially Riley McDonough who both wrote and composed the original song with the help of Connor McDonough, Castle, and Alexis Kesselman TWO YEARS before Joji heard it. Here's a really touching statement from him about his personal connection to this song: June 10th. Two of the most pivotal moments of my life have happened on this date. June 10, 2016. - we lost a very dear friend, Christina Grimmie. I never could have prepared for the effects this night would have on my life. Being that the tragedy of losing Christina happened at our own show near where I grew up, this was very close to home both literally and figuratively. It took years of strong friendships and rebuilding to feel like a functioning human again, but it is something that will live with me forever. There were many different waves of real depression unlike I had ever known before that night. In times of sadness, my way of healing has always been writing songs. June 14, 2019 - a few days after the 3 year anniversary of losing Christina, I was really struggling at this time and life just didn't make sense. On this day, there's a voice memo I made of a song calling out to God where I asked "If I could only catch a glimpse of you". 6 months later, Dec 16, 2019 - I had a last minute writing session on a rainy Sunday with @connormcdonough, @i_am_castle_, and @idarosemusic. Many times in sessions I will just scroll the titles of my voice memos to see if anything jumps out. This day I saw the voice memo labeled 'Glimpse' and said "I love the word glimpse for something" and an entirely new idea was born. The song 'Glimpse of Us' was created that day. It wasn't until two years later, Joji heard the song and after some changes, the final version was made. June 10, 2022 'Glimpse of Us' was released to the world and went on to become the most successful song of our career as well as our first extremely notable work as songwriters. It wasn't until recently that I remembered what was said in that initial voice memo those years ago. Calling out for some bit of a sign. I now see that what I got back was tenfold to what I could have ever imagined. I write this to say that you never truly know the beauty that is constantly forming from the pain. Our hurt is never wasted. This is why I will forever pour my heart into everything I ever make. Sending only love. Thank you for listening.
@@jfer8152 the thing that sucks though, joji's always been very involved in his stuff. producing, writing, and putting himself into it. then this new record comes along and its all made by other people :/
@@jfer8152 I'm aware. The unacknowledged songwriters and producers of our generation and generations prior deserve far more recognition than they get in the public eye.
@@subject28x you have no idea what you're talking about, charlie may have some mid songs but he is insanely talented, I doubt you know anything about music theory or music producing to be able to judge him.
There is no such thing as good or bad. Joji only provided his vocals without involvement in the songwriting or production. Creating music, especially writing and producing, requires significant effort. In the case of this particular song, many consider it a masterpiece. While there may be singers more skilled than Joji and Charlie, the unique contribution of the composer-songwriter is irreplaceable. Joji undeniably proved to be a perfect fit for the song.
Definitely don't think it would've gotten as big as it did had Charlie done it. And I love Charlie Puth. But his style is very different. Nobody does sad boi songs quite like Joji.
The self understanding Charlie shows here really shows how respectful and kind he is. Not a lot of people would have the humility to admit that they aren't perfect. Thanks for the clip :)
I think I personally wouldnt have liked the song if charlie puth sang it. I feel Joji has a unique, melancholic voice that just paired so well with the piano. His vocal technique isnt as good as Charlie puth.. But theres something special about joji's voice.
There’s nothing special about his voice, it’s a very average sounding voice. It’s the sounds that accompany it as well as how he uses it that make it good.
much respect for Charlie giving Joji his flowers for the song. Very humbling to hear that he didn't feel like he could of pulled the song off like joji did but gave him respect as well.
Most industry popular music is written by members of the songwriters guild. 90% of “artists” are simply live performers and recording artists who have the face, style, character and voice to portray certain vibes for which the guild specifically write songs for, and pass songs around till an artist is either available to do it or a match made in heaven happens which is the case with glimpse of us. Mainstream music literally comes from factories in Hollywood and New York lmfao. All carefully designed to manipulate and sway the people, which I think is what is fuckin cool about music. Really is a special artform.
@@CausallyExplainedai is soulless. not all singers are talented songwriters it’s two separate skills and not all can do both and not all song writers can sing either so song writers can make money from selling their songs to artists/producers and artists who can’t write can find songs that they love , to record. as long as both are credited and acknowledged that’s all that matters.
When they send a demo of the song, it might not be the full song what we know now, it might even be possible that Joji changed parts of it. Edit: He did not write it Alex Kesselman did. Edit2: Apparently she wrote for people like Grace Vanderwaal and A famous kpop group TWICE
Joji has a legion of fans that come from a completely different space. Also he as a musician has carved a space for himself in the angsty/emoboi mould, almost hipster, which does great justice to the track. All these things SANS the production angle too. Whereas Puth, for all his talent, is just a pop loverboi.
progbably wasn't even in the same key lol what are you talking about. lol some of these comments are clueless to how shit works and just spew garbage for no reason. can't we just watch videos and not make stupid comments, that with people that know nothing about music or the industry or people they are even watching.. lol. Puth is literally a prodigy, just makes bullshit pop music to make money.
i think the reason joji got popular in general, with his ballads albums and prior, is because he doesn't oversing or anything, he's super relaxed and it sounds more meaningful and sad than if he were out here belting and annunciating.
@@jae92797 plenty of ytbers have tried to have singing careers but failed.. it was a good jumpstart but his music career is there bc he makes good music
Depends on the artist, because they receive trough others tons of other different type of songs, and in the same time they compose songs and send it to others. Just like Pharrell or Ed Sheeren does. So its not so uncommon. And delivering a song like this, Joji had to have a lot of input on this, because delivering something like this requires a big range of emotions. And it cannot be done overnight.
This is the reality of 90% of the top artists songs you listen to. They dont make their songs. They sometimes give advice and tell them what they want, but all the talent is the producers, lyricists, mixers/mastering etc.... like BTS for example. They are owned and put together under a label company, who give them songs, tell them the lyrics and have someone put the two together, all they have to do is look pretty and be the face in front of the label who takes most of the money.
When Smitereens first came out i went to wikipedia and checked for the writers and was surprised to find out Joji didn’t write it. It was quite interesting to find out that
People in the comments learning their favorite performers dont always write their own songs is baffling me. I think literally every big artist has done this.
I mean, I knew that for a long time but the way that songs are just passed to one artist to another? That's messed up. I thought they have to at least bring in some semblance of creative input to the stuff they release...
@@RijaMo That's how it's been since the beginning of the industry. Performers are given material and if they do it well or fit the style then they get to produce it. And of course they have tons of input, that's mostly the reason why someone will be picked over another, is because their style of performing it or what they bring to the material is best. I hate to break it to you, but every industry (not just music) typically requires teams of people doing what they do best to produce a product. It's extremely rare that an artist will be the only contributor to a work, even if they're the only one singing and performing the music.
As much as I love charlie, he would probably over produce it ( as seen with his song making videos ). Joji's version was so minimalistic and raw and human.
everyone sees these songs by these artists and are like "they're talking about this person, or they're talking about this thing that happened." but in reality its nothing to do with them
Honestly it doesn't really bother me that Joji didn't write the song, he just fits the style and aura of the song so well it doesn't really matter whether he wrote the song or not.
Makes me wonder who's idea it was to make the video on it as well, that's what really made it hit hard on first listen. The music video is so raw and dark but so filling and ambient at the same time. All love to Puth but I couldn't see him putting out a video like that
Oh man:(.....now knowing Joji didn't write Glimpse of Us kinda ruined the song for me ngl. It felt personal and intimate man, like Joji wrote it from his heart, expressing the pain and heartache he experienced in his life. The song is still amazing and props to whoever actually wrote it, but still, kind of a bummer
@@krit6678 Generally speaking, more people know Charlie Puth. But on the internet, particularly UA-cam, Joji is a giant. The dude pretty much has a cult following that he built during his time as Filthy Frank. Also, he's kinda carved himself into being the face of sad boi music XD. And I think it actually fits his style really well.
According to ASCAP (which is the performance rights organisation), Joji is credited as a writer of the song. If anyone is bothered to check it, you can Google ‘ASCAP repertory’ and then search for Glimpse of Us.
The way it works is even if you don’t actually write the song you can get featured songwriting creds as a vocalist through contracts even if you’ve done nothing or barely anything…Beyoncé has been known to do this
Incorrect. According to the ASCAP and the Wikipedia page, the accredited writers are "Alexis Kesselman, Castle, Riley McDonough, and producer Connor McDonough". So uh, no. Joji didn't write the song.
I think Charlie is very talented but he wouldn’t have sold the story in the way Joji was able to. Charlie Puth would’ve stripped like half the raw emotion from it and it would’ve sounded like a generic pop song
Songwriting and production are absolutely essential to a successful song, but let's not disregard the impact that performance has on bringing a song to life. Joji did great work with his vocals, and it wouldn't be the same without him. Huge credit to the song writers and producers of course, but we don't have to discount one contribution to appreciate the others.
I love how bro just humbly said he did not think he would have been amazing 👏 and he gave Joji his props 👌... he is a great singer but this song is not for his style of singing 🤷♂️ (my opinion)
here's the thing I dislike Glimpse of Us because it's not the Joji that i know and I listen it's like it is sad song and sounds like one but like the mainstream kind of sad, sounds like a song that would be liked by teens on tiktok in which it did blew up in tiktok It's sounds a sad song that i Joji wouldn't really sing
Joji has some vocal "help" during the concerts. it impossible to sing it like him without some kind of digital help. He sings it really silent and turns the microphone volume up. In this way, the result is really cool. Maybe I am wrong, but from what i`m hearing ...
Its kind of sad to me that joji didnt actually write a single song his last album and the one before that very minimal work he actually did. Though at the same time, its still great music and maybe thats what george wanted all along, to just perform good music regardless if it came from him or not.
Charlie puth wouldn't make it as big as joji. The style, the way he make music is completely different to joji. When it come to making sad and chill song, nobody can compete with joji
I'm very baffled because the show biz people seem to give songs to artists just like that, but all I was taught is show biz people steal songs from artists and, also, you have to give your soul to the devil in order to get promoted and I don't picture either one of these artists doing weird masonic rituals, so I'm genuinely baffled.
Charlie Puth is successful enough plus he is rather an average singer with a voice that you don't always recognize. Sorry but I'm glad that Joji got to sing it. And I don't care that he didn't produce it, he gave life to the song and made it sound that unique. Charlie Puth it good for average Pop songs but that's it. He shouldn't overrestimate himself.
And I'm sure there are plenty of Charlie Puth's songs that Joji could've done that you would've listened to, and there are plenty of Joji songs that Charlie Puth could've done that you wouldn't have ever listened to. This isn't the flex that you think it is, this is called having an opinion. 🤷🏻♂

I dislike Glimpse of Us because it's not the Joji that i know and I listen
it's like it is sad song and sounds like one but like the mainstream kind of sad, sounds like a song that would be liked by teens on tiktok in which it did blew up in tiktok
It's sounds a sad song that i Joji wouldn't really sing
he was too busy telling us that audio can be selective in the ear phone with left and right stereo. thanks charlie!
Wait who sent him the song
Its strange how some produced songs are more like a product than a song written by a musician
Now I need an AI version of Charlie singing Glimpse of us😂
what a guy, still give props to others. what a true success
Now for some reason I want a Charlie Puth rendition now.
My bro wrote this 🔥🥹
Joji has some vocal "help" during the concerts. it impossible to sing it like him without some kind of digital help. He sings it really silent and turns the microphone volume up. In this way, the result is really cool. Maybe I am wrong, but from what i`m hearing ...
Never forget Frank
How tf did george go from talking about balls to singing about missing that someone special.
The music video for glimpse of us also made it something special
joji didnt write that AND it was meant for puth 😞
Im so glad charlie puth didn't do this. It would not have been as heart wrenching and raw
Its kind of sad to me that joji didnt actually write a single song his last album and the one before that very minimal work he actually did. Though at the same time, its still great music and maybe thats what george wanted all along, to just perform good music regardless if it came from him or not.
Thanks for passing on it, that song was indirectly written for Joji.
he doesn't say anything even remotely close to "it's great but..."
Charlie puth wouldn't make it as big as joji. The style, the way he make music is completely different to joji. When it come to making sad and chill song, nobody can compete with joji
I'm very baffled because the show biz people seem to give songs to artists just like that, but all I was taught is show biz people steal songs from artists and, also, you have to give your soul to the devil in order to get promoted and I don't picture either one of these artists doing weird masonic rituals, so I'm genuinely baffled.
i love charlie but nobody can sing it like my boy george💗
honestly is kind of weird that he said that when the lyrics in glimpse of us reffers to a joji´s friend that passed away cause of depression
Why did I think this was Patrick Mahomes at first glance of the thumbnail lmao
Wait, I thought artists were involved in creating their songs… they just get a completed song and sign up if they like it or something?
Both
Like a puppet
It’s one of the most beautiful songs of its decade
I’m always surprised when people are surprised that artists don’t write all of their own music. I always thought that was common knowledge
Had no idea it was a "pop song" floating around the ether 😆 Joji definitely owned that version
Started singing some sad songs because pinkguy can't get any poosi 😢
His playlist is called, regret
Sounds like there’s some remix potential
it's cool to see him admit that Joji did better than he would've, that's real respect
Now i kinda wanna hear Charlie version of the song
Artist who write for themselves 🔥
Joji matches it a lot better for sure
Im a fan of both
Charlie Puth is successful enough plus he is rather an average singer with a voice that you don't always recognize. Sorry but I'm glad that Joji got to sing it. And I don't care that he didn't produce it, he gave life to the song and made it sound that unique. Charlie Puth it good for average Pop songs but that's it. He shouldn't overrestimate himself.
"They sent the song for me originally" Who is THEY?? MAGICAL MUSIC ALIENS?
Composer and writer bruh lmao. Not all Singer wrote their own songs bruh
Wouldn’t have listened to it if Charlie made it, Joji just did it way better than Charlie ever could’ve. 🤷🏻♂️
And I'm sure there are plenty of Charlie Puth's songs that Joji could've done that you would've listened to, and there are plenty of Joji songs that Charlie Puth could've done that you wouldn't have ever listened to.
This isn't the flex that you think it is, this is called having an opinion. 🤷🏻♂
