"Nice to Meet You" is a song by American rock band Imagine Dragons released as the second single from the band's sixth studio album Loom. It was released through Interscope Records and Kidinakorner on May 24, 2024. [1]
"Nice to Meet You" was written by Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee, Mattias Larsson, and Robin Fredriksson. It was produced Larson and Fredriksson and mixed by Serban Ghenea and Bryce Bordone. [2] A snippet of the song, along with snippets of "Fire in These Hills" and "Wake Up", were shared to the winning Croyants team on the band's four doors website. [3] The band posted an official teaser of the song on May 15. [4] In an Instagram Live, Reynolds described the lyrics of the song:
The song is about the dating process. I’ve always really hated that when you are dating someone, you are also kind of dating their friends. Like I didn’t sign up for that. I really like you but I really don’t have to like all your friends. The person that I wrote it about, I got her permission before getting the song out. We are friends now, but there was a moment when we were not doing good.
The music video for "Nice to Meet You" premiered on May 24, 2024 and was directed by Matt Eastin. [5] The video features a Dan Reynolds meeting a woman at a bar dancing to the song played by Wayne Sermon and Ben McKee. Eventually, the other members of the bar join in as it transforms into a 70's dance floor. After the song ends, both leave the bar in Reynolds' top-down car.
