Background and release



"Juicy" was written by Doja Cat, Lydia Asrat, David Sprecher and Lukasz Gottwald. The song was produced by Yeti Beats and Lukasz Gottwald, with the latter also co-writing the song under the pseudonym Tyson Trax. The solo version of "Juicy" was initially included as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of Doja Cat's debut studio album, 'Amala', on March 1, 2019.

Doja Cat stated that she "had a clear picture in her head" of what she wanted the song to be about. "Sometimes, I can see my ass from the front", she told them. "So then I was like, if you can see it from the front, wait until you see it from the back. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world, the greatest hook ever." "Juicy" took less than one day to make. Doja Cat added that she was "proud of it", adding that she "knew people were going to like it, because [she] loved it".

Critical reception

On November 11, 2019, Doja Cat and Tyga performed the remix of "Juicy" for 'Late Night with Seth Meyers'. The performance features Doja Cat wearing a watermelon unitard and two backup dancers dressed as lemons.

Music video

The music video for the remix of "Juicy" was released on the same day as the single.

The video was directed by Jack Begert. The cherry look for the video was designed by British hat designer Piers Atkinson. The lemon look was made by Bebe Aguirre, along with an accompanying hat for the outfit which was made by JimmyPaul. The grape-inspired look, a "ghost" bikini, was made by clothing designer Laina Rauma. The jacket which accompanies the bikini was made by designer Domminico. The watermelon outfit, a latex suit, was created by Los Angeles based designer Vex Latex. The shoes that accompany the watermelon outfit were made by British shoe designer Kira Goodey.

'Soulbounce' commented on the music video, saying that the video shows that Cat's "got the plumpest fruit of them all", additionally saying that "you can't deny that the song is quite the jam." Jasmine Hardy of 'Femestella' positively reported on the music video, saying that "[Doja Cat's] care-free confidence and unapologetic attitude when it comes to her natural body are exactly what makes her a standout in the body positive movement."
