Transcription
Background
In November 2019, Juice Wrld posted via Instagram, with the caption "Great things coming".[3] Scenes with frequent music video collaborator Cole Bennett and Young Thug were revealed as well.
On December 25, 2020, Bennett revealed, after much anticipation, that "Bad Boy" and its supported visuals would be released on January 15, 2021. He also revealed that it was the final filmed collaboration between himself and Juice Wrld.[4]
The song was released on January 15, 2021, and it marks the rappers' fourth official collaboration. The song is also the first official collaboration between Juice Wrld and Pi'erre Bourne.
Composition
On the track, Juice Wrld and Young Thug rap about their reckless lifestyles and liken themselves to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, the main cast of the 1995 comedy film, Bad Boys.[5]
Music video
The music video, directed by Cole Bennett, released on January 15, 2021, coincided with the release of "Bad Boy". It marks the final music video filmed with Higgins, as well as the eighth (tenth counting "Tell Me U Luv Me" with Trippie Redd), which uses archival footage of Higgins and marks the final music video collaboration between Higgins and Bennett. The music video was filmed on Chicago's West side on October 25, 2019, just a little over a month before Juice WRLD's death in December 2019.[6]
