"Joni" is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA featuring fellow American singer-songwriter and rapper Don Toliver. It was released on February 9, 2025, as part of the extended version of Lana (2025), the reissue of her second studio album SOS (2022). Inspired by the music of singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, "Joni" combines realist and idealist writing styles, discussing SZA's love for her family and desire to overcome challenges in pursuit of perfection. The song samples "Angeles" (1997) by Elliott Smith.
Before its official release, "Joni" was uploaded on SoundCloud on August 22, 2021, and was leaked sometime during recording sessions for Lana. The song was intended for the reissue as well as SOS, but it was scrapped from both projects by SZA's manager, Punch.
