Lucid Dreams

Juice WRLD

On “Lucid Dreams,” Juice WRLD explores the mental anguish he feels after experiencing a break-up.

Lucid dreaming refers to a state of consciousness where a person is aware they are dreaming. With enough experience, a dreamer can slowly begin to control the contents of their dreams. Juice uses the idea of controlling a lucid dream as an analogy for his mental state; to avoid the pain of seeing his ex-lover in his dreams, Juice seeks to replace them—for good.

Juice’s frequent collaborator, Nick Mira, handles the production of this track. The melody of this track samples the intro of Sting’s March 1993 track “Shape Of My Heart.”

During the week ending October 6, 2018, the track peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
