Singles from Goodbye & Good Riddance

Goodbye & Good Riddance is the debut studio album by American rapper Juice Wrld. It was released on May 23, 2018, by Grade A Productions and Interscope Records.[6] The album features a sole guest appearance from Lil Uzi Vert and production from Benny Blanco, Cardo, Mitch Mula, Nick Mira, and Sidepce, among others.

Background

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, Juice WRLD spoke on the background of the album, stating:

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

[I'm] just trying to make music to help people through their situations and tell them about some of my own. It's all genuine, so I think that's what adds to it. Back in high school, even before that, I was good at freestyling. Then I started rapping, and I recorded a few records that didn't have any substance. I thought 'why not put my heart into what I'm making?[7]

Singles

The album's lead single, "All Girls Are the Same", was released on April 13, 2018. The song peaked at number 41 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[8]

The second single, "Lucid Dreams", was released on May 4, 2018. The song peaked at number 2 on the Hot 100. [8]

The third single, "Lean wit Me", was released on May 22, 2018. The song peaked at number 68.[9]

The fourth single, "Wasted" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, was released on July 10, 2018, alongside a rerelease of the album, shortly after premiering on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio.[10]

HipHopDX 3.2/5[11]
Pitchfork 6.4/10[1]

Jay Balfour of Pitchfork described Goodbye & Good Riddance as "an adolescent breakup record that is equal parts endearing and grating", praising the album's sound: "his heart-on-his-sleeve coping sounds both ingratiating and grating. In that way at least, he's bottled up sad sap adolescence remarkably well."[1] Bryan Hahn of HipHopDX criticized the lyricism for being "without any focus on creative stanzas or convincing in-depth first-person experiences." He later said Higgins has potential to grow as an artist, remarking "Juice's best potential songwriting is yet to come" and "Juice feels willing to keep things interesting for the sake of art and is backed by a moderate understanding (and interest) in varied melodies and cadences."[11]
