"Last You Heard of Me" is a song recorded by the American rock band Joyce Manor. The song was released on September 14, 2016, through Epitaph Records, as the second single from the band's fourth studio album Cody. "Last You Heard of Me" recounts a predictable night at a karaoke bar that ends in a regretful romantic entanglement. Though it shares songwriting credits between the band members, the song was largely written by frontman Barry Johnson. Its tangential lyrical style was inspired by the work of Mark Kozelek, and based off a sense of ennui and lethargy with drunken nights.
Critics enjoyed "Last You Heard of Me", with many singling out its slow-building storyline for praise. Its punk sound was often likened to Weezer. Its music video was directed by Christopher Good and depicts a Clue-style dinner party gone wrong at a mansion called "Joyce Manor".
