“I made this song to celebrate Juice Wrld’s life. Juice Wrld always says in his songs that he was a “leader of the lost souls,” and I do feel like he wanted people to find the happiness they deserve in this world. Although the main chorus seems like a message to have fun living fast and dying young, it’s a play on that saying to actually show that life is meant to be lived to the fullest and to avoid the easy temptations that can lead someone down the wrong path. The lyrics of the song try to show the trickery the world presents every single day through easy temptations and sensations which Juice Wrld often spoke about in his music, but also that we can all break through those ceilings together. Lyrics such as “I call out but no one hears me” express the feelings behind songs like “Wishing Well” or “Stay High,” which are some of my favorite Juice Wrld songs where I felt a desperate cry for help, but no one seemed to listen. Juice Wrld wanted people to learn from his mistakes, and in this song I try to exemplify that message for him since he is no longer with us. Thank you Juice Wrld for the music you created, thank you for helping me find my way in music in the ways you did and thank you for expressing your pain freely, and thank God for helping me find your meaning in music. It helped me make the most natural song I’ve ever made, this song I made for you.”

Story behind song:
After listening to Legends Never Die for days on end during the 2021 Summer, I loaded up a Juice Wrld type beat on YouTube and freestyle sang the whole song on a voice memo recording. I planned to have a feature on the song because the freestyle came out in one blow. I sent the voice memo over to my main producer, Ilan Pomerance, and he was super excited for the song and said he wanted me to record the vocals on the YouTube beat immediately. I went into the studio with the lines written down and ended up changing two sections of the song. I don’t remember the old lyrics, but I know I changed two lines towards the end of verse 1 to “dead inside who killed me where the witness? I’m alive in my head when I’m sippin,” because I felt they made more sense for Juice Wrld’s voice and image. I also thought they melodically fit the song more when I was recording. I sent the acapella vocals over to Ilan and he constructed the beat with a guitar riff from my friend and artist Schur. He sent it over to prodbyberk who made the finishing touches and then Lavar Bullar did the rest.
