Background and composition

It was produced Larson and Fredriksson and mixed by Serban Ghenea and Bryce Bordone. 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. The band posted an official teaser of the song on May 15. 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.
Music video
The official music video for "Nice To Meet You" premiered on May 24, 2024, and was directed by Matt Eastin. The video features Dan Reynolds meeting a woman at a bar dancing to the song played by bandmates Wayne Sermon and Ben McKee.
