Composition

According to sheet music published on musicnotes.com, "Past Won't Leave My Bed" is written in the key of F major and follows a tempo of 70 beats per minute. [1]

The song is a piano ballad; [2] [3] the production begins with a minimal piano line before developing into a richly textured arrangement, [4] which along with Joji's vocal performance has been described as nuanced. [5] During the chorus, fuzzy guitar chords accompany the piano. [2] Lyrically, the song is about struggling to let go of a past relationship. [4] [5] Joji describes being unable to stop thinking about the past as he is constantly reminded of his ex-girlfriend in his surroundings and finding relief only in sleeping, though he acknowledges its fleeting nature. [2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Ethan Eng and released alongside the single. Filmed in a found footage style, [3] it sees Joji hitchhiking across North America [2] [3] [4] and engaging in dangerous behavior with suspicious people. [2]
