The washed-out synths on “Rockstar In His Prime” reflect the shaky state of mind Juice was in, as he desperately searched for the root of his problems but became lost in his drug-addled haze. We then get an appearance from Eminem on “Eminem Speaks,” which samples interviews where he discussed the height of his addiction and recovery following a nearly lethal overdose. Justin Bieber makes an appearance on single “Wandered To LA,” where Bieber raps about his short separation from his wife while Juice reflects on his past relationship with a former girlfriend who was also his dealer. “You Wouldn’t Understand” sees Juice WRLD take on a more abrasive and braggadocios attitude, flexing his wealth and success in a change of pace from the more bleak outlook on much of the album. The melody on the chorus is eerily reminiscent of the Chainsmokers’ “Closer,” which, if you aren’t already familiar with the song, you’ll find pleasantly catchy. Juice belts out lyrics about his struggles to hold on in the face of depression and addiction. The somber piano on “Already Dead” harkens back to the emo era of the aughts.
