About this song
- "Lucid Dreams" (formerly titled "Lucid Dreams (Forget Me)") is a song by rapper and singer Juice Wrld. It was originally released on June 15, 2017 on his 999 EP before being re-released on May 4, 2018 as the second single to his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance. The song was produced by Nick Mira & SIDEPCE, with the melody of the song sampling the intro of Sting’s 1993 song "Shape Of My Heart". On "Lucid Dreams," Juice WRLD explores the mental anguish someone feels after experiencing a break-up. Lucid dreaming refers to a state of consciousness where a person is aware they are dreaming. With enough experience, a dreamer can slowly begin to control the contents of their dreams. Juice uses the idea of controlling a lucid dream as an analogy for his mental state; to avoid the pain of seeing his ex-lover in his dreams, Juice seeks to replace them—for good. In a June 2018 interview with Lyrical Lemonade, Juice Wrld stated the song was made to be a "therapy session" during a period of relationship problems he was encountering. In the lyrics, he describes the pain of a girl breaking up with him, and in the verse he relates back to the title: saying he has lucid dreams thinking of her. Lucid Dreams was initially released on SoundCloud on June 15, 2017, alongside the EP JuiceWrld 9 9 9. It eventually accumulated 2.5 million plays, leading to an official release as a single on May 4, 2018. In November 2018, producer Nick Mira revealed that Sting owned 85% of the rights to "Lucid Dreams," which features an interpolation of his 1993 hit "Shape of My Heart". Lucid Dreams debuted at #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending May 26, 2018, with 10 million US streams and 4,000 digital downloads.
