Background and release

"Juicy" was written by Doja Cat, 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. [1] [2] 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. [3]

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." [4] "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". [4]

Live performances

Doja Cat performed the solo version of "Juicy" at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, as part of a medley which also contained the songs "Like That" and "Say So". [5] At the 2020 AVN Awards, Doja Cat performed "Juicy" along with "Cyber Sex". [6] Doja Cat released two performances for the song to her YouTube channel in December 2020, as well as performances for her songs "Streets" and "Talk Dirty", as a Christmas gift to her fans. [7]

Reception

Critical response

Czar Van Gaal of V commented on the song, saying that "at first listen it may seem like a catchy song about the female anatomy but underneath the rump referencing rhymes lies a deeper meaning."
