[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.
