Joeboy intensifies the heartbreak theme with Taxi Driver, following the release of his previous single, SMH, with Tempoe, a somber meditation on a love gone bad.
This new track, which was released only weeks before his eagerly awaited third studio album, Viva Lavida, is scheduled to be released on March 28, 2025, provides fans with a moving preview of what to expect from the upcoming album.
It's obvious that grief will be a major subject running through the album given his prior works, which are rife with themes of betrayal and emotional devastation.
Joeboy is at his most vulnerable in Taxi Driver, expressing the anguish of a broken romance in a melancholic supplication.
The lyrics of the song, "Taxi driver can you take me home, I can’t feel my soul, this feeling I’m better on my own," vividly depict a man who has been broken by the games and heartaches his lover has inflicted on him.
His gentle yet melancholic voice floats over a simple yet moving beat created by the gifted producer Xtofa. Joeboy's expressive voice takes center stage as Xtofa, who is renowned for his complex sounds, adds sad chords and delicate percussion.
The production strikes a balance between being subtle and impactful, enhancing the song's intimacy without overpowering its weighty lyrics.

The release marks a continuation of Joeboy’s exploration of love’s darker side, a trajectory that began with his earlier songs, and most recently SMH, and now deepens with Taxi Driver.
Where SMH simmered with frustration over a soured relationship, Taxi Driver dives headfirst into the aftermath—loneliness, disillusionment, and a yearning for escape.
The track’s narrative unfolds like a late-night confession, with Joeboy pleading for a ride away from the emotional rubble, his soul too battered to stay.
Taxi Driver, a song from his next album, gives away that it will be a project that focuses a lot on introspection.
The album, which is Joeboy's third since his debut album Somewhere Between Beauty & Magic from 2021, promises to be a cathartic voyage through the tribulations of love, and he has already released two heartbreak-themed tunes.
The album, which is slated for release on March 28, 2025, is expected to demonstrate his transformation from the cheerful romantic of classics like Baby to a more seasoned performer who isn't hesitant to display his wounds.
