Decide (album)

Decide is the second studio album by the American actor and musician Joe Keery, under his stage name Djo. It was self-released under AWAL on September 16, 2022, and served as the follow-up to his previous album, Twenty Twenty (2019). Keery and Adam Thein entirely wrote and produced the album during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and recorded it at The Sound Factory in Los Angeles in late 2021. Marking a departure from his previous psychedelic rock sound, Decide is a synth-pop, synthwave, and alt-pop album. The lyrical content focuses on Keery's reflections on several themes and his anxiety about changes and identity. Upon its release, Decide was met with a positive reception from music critics, mainly for its lyricism and production. It was preceded by four singles: "Change", "Gloom", "Figure You Out", and "Half Life". In 2024, the track "End of Beginning" saw virality on social media and entered the US Billboard Hot 100, leading it to be released as the fifth single. In parallel, Decide appeared on the national charts of Canada, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, and the United States.
