Juice WRLD has been on a whirlwind press junket of late, and in a recent appearance on Power 106 Los Angeles he unpacked the intentions behind the title of his hit single “All Girls Are the Same.”
“When I first made it, I knew that statement was false,” he explained. “I’m human, everybody’s got controversial statements and shit they say to themselves all the time. I was just the one motherfucker to really say it.”
Originally released in 2017, “All Girls Are the Same” peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was produced by Nick Mira, whose credits include placements with 03 Greedo, Lil Skies, and Tierra Whack, among others. Mira contributed production to eight tracks on Juice’s album Goodbye & Good Riddance, including the album’s other major hit, “Lucid Dreams.”
On the hook of “All Girls,” Juice stresses the corrosive effect he feels girls are having on him:
All girls are the same, they’re rotting my brain, love
Think I need a change, before I go insane, love
Later in the Power 106 conversation, Juice acknowledged that the song’s message does not reflect how he feels anymore.
“That’s how I felt at a certain point in time, and that’s clearly wrong, because everybody’s different,” he further stated.
In an interview with Lyrical Lemonade, Juice made similar comments about consciously making a choice to put out a slanted statement based on his past relationship issues.
“I was going through hella relationship shit, and it was to the point where I was like, ‘I’m going to make a biased statement,’” he said. “‘Cause obviously all girls aren’t the same.”
Some writers have been critical of Juice WRLD’s lyrics, putting him in a category of rappers who treat women as “actively hostile forces.”
Juice WRLD appeared on Genius' Verified series to unpack the lyrics of his other major hit, “Lucid Dreams.” In the video, he talked about the duality and contrast he often feels between his emotions and thoughts.
“I do not trust my head and my heart because I don’t know which is which sometimes,” he said. “I feel like sometimes your emotions and your conscience are in two different places. Sometimes, you want to hear one instead of the other.”
