Canadian actor-musician Joe Keery, under his Djo moniker, has released “Back On You,” a standout single from his third album, The Crux. Known for Stranger Things, Keery continues his musical evolution with this track, blending retro-pop flair with raw emotion. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, “Back On You” channels ‘70s rock vibes, pairing jangly guitars with a driving beat that hooks listeners instantly.
The song dives into the push-and-pull of love, with Keery’s clear vocals delivering introspective lyrics about longing and reconciliation. Unlike his earlier synth-laden work, “Back On You” leans on organic instrumentation, showcasing Djo’s shift toward a classic sound. Fans on X are buzzing about its infectious energy and how it fits seamlessly into The Crux’s narrative of self-reflection and connection.
With The Crux marking Djo’s global tour kickoff, “Back On You” is poised to shine live, especially at his upcoming Coachella set. Following “End of Beginning”’s viral fame, this single cements Keery’s dual-threat status—actor and musician—proving his indie-pop chops are here to stay.
