It was released through Grade A Productions and Interscope Records on December 16, 2023, as the lead single from the former's fifth and final studio album, The Party Never Ends (2024). The three artists wrote the song with Cashmere Cat, Happy Perez, and Luis Resto, who produced it with Blanco while Eminem also additionally produced it.

Background

[edit]

In a press release: Juice's mother, Carmela Wallace, spoke about the song:

I can recall Jarad [Anthony Higgins aka Juice WRLD] playing Eminem's music on repeat at home because he was a huge fan. This is a bittersweet moment for me; I am happy that Jarad had a chance to make music with someone he admired and sad that he cannot be here to take in the moment; Jarad left us way too soon.[1]

Composition and lyrics

[edit]

On the song, Juice talks about the impact of the drugs he took in his lifetime. Eminem reflects on his own struggle with drugs early in his career: "I was lucky, my escape was narrow and due / Now think I take it for granted / That I'm still here, synthetic heroin you tried to kill me, then you murdered Jarad, didn't you? / Juice WRLD / Addiction's like a fuckin' vicious cycle / Juice, we will forever miss you / To the younger generation, I ain't lecturin' you, but man just be careful when you…". He name-drops celebrities that died from drugs, such as Lil Peep, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Shock G, Pimp C, Prince, and Michael Jackson.[2]
