Legends Never Die

Juice WRLD’s first posthumous album, Legends Never Die, was originally rumored to be named The Outsiders based on a freestyle he did within an Instagram live, but was later confirmed to be Legends Never Die four days before the release.

Additionally, during an Instagram live stream six months after his death, Juice’s girlfriend, Ally Lotti, hinted at the original album title, but seemingly delayed its release:

Remember we were talking about The Outsiders… That actual album, no one is ready for it. I’m not ready for it. And I promise you, you are not ready for it.

The first promotional single for the album was titled “Righteous“ and released in late April 2020. The following month, the label followed with the release of “Tell Me U Luv Me,“ another single with frequent collaborator Trippie Redd.

Multiple demos of the album surfaced on the internet in early 2020 and consisted of up to 30 of his tracks, such as “Righteous,“ “Bad Boy,“ and “Tell Me U Luv Me.“ However, none of these tracks were officially confirmed to be on the album.

In the first few weeks of June, Juice’s label teased snippets for multiple tracks such as “Cake,“ “Molly & Mike,“ and “Don’t Understand,“ hinting at their possible releases within the album. However, the only confirmed track was the highly anticipated “Blood on My Jeans“, which was confirmed by Juice’s label manager Lil Bibby when he responded to a fan on Instagram.

On July 6, 2020, Juice’s label took to Juice’s Twitter to officially confirm the release date of the album to be July 10, and officially confirmed the album title to be Legends Never Die with a small teaser video:

A few hours later, the label once again took to social media on the same day to put out a message for the public honoring Juice, whilst also releasing the official cover art for Legends Never Die.

Hours after the announcement of the album and cover art, the third single from the album, “Life’s a Mess,” which features Halsey, released and was accompanied by a visualizer featuring performance painter David Garibaldi.

Additionally, Juice’s label dropped a surprise track titled “Come & Go” with producer Marshmello one day prior to the release of the album.

On August 7, 2020, The Weeknd-assisted “Smile“ was released and added as the seventh track on the Legends Never Die tracklist on streaming services.
