Already Dead

Already Dead

Juice WRLD

“Already Dead“ serves as the first promotional single for Chicago native Juice WRLD’s posthumous project Fighting Demons. Juice touches on his heartbreak and substance abuse, noting the problems that occur when both are mixed.

The track was first previewed on Juice’s Instagram in early 2018. In March of 2021, Lil Bibby—manager of Juice’s label, Grade A Productions—tweeted a snippet of “Already Dead,” claiming:

I will find it and it will be on the album 🙏🏽🔥

Later, in July of 2021, Juice’s co-manager Peter Jideonwo confirmed that Lil Bibby had obtained the track after months of searching.

On October 26, 2021, the track would leak in its entirety, and Lil Bibby would confirm via Twitter that the track would make an official release on November 12, 2021. Thirteen days later, on November 9, the 999 CLUB Instagram would reveal the cover art and re-confirm the release date in the caption:

Already Dead this Friday. #lljw 🕊
