The track was first previewed in an Instagram livestream by producer and 808 Mafia member, Gezin, in late June 2020. The track leaked on August 11, 2020.
In mid March of 2023, the tracklist to the 2023 game 'MLB The Show 23' was leaked after a store allowed a customer to purchase the game early. The Light was featured on this tracklist and as the game was set to fully release to the public at midnight on March 22nd, Juice fans speculated on the track's release on the same day as a single to Summer album "The Party Never Ends" was overdue.
The Light made an official release as the lead single to Juice WRLD's final 2023 posthumous album "The Party Never Ends" on March 22nd, 2023 after being officially teased in a 999 Club post the night before.
The Light
Juice WRLD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's dark outside, you're always the light (oh yeah)
This heart of mine was once cold as the ice (oh, oh)
The more I try, the more I open my mind, for you
To find, the demons hidin' deep inside
I owe fines, the devil say I owe him for life
Remember when He sent you to me that night
Had to cuff you up, like a cop on a heist
Cupid is the judge, so I must testify
I won't move or budge, I'll stand by you for life
All my life, when you die is when I die
I sometimes wonder why
We argue and fight
And quickly make things right
It's probably 'cause we gotta grow more over time
Wouldn't be real love without rough nights
Can't feel these drugs, but I feel your eyes
When you look at mine, things feel alright
When it's dark outside, you're always the light (oh yeah)
This heart of mine was once cold as the ice (oh, oh)
The more I try, the more I open my mind, for you
To find, the demons hidin' deep inside
Been through it, I don't really wanna get into it
Throwin' out your heart to break mine, so I won't do it
Also, baby, you're my lifeline, you're an influence
All the times you was mad, I was over under your influence
I feel sorry for the people that don't get it
It's really rare that you feel the real love feelin'
Some people get hurt and never love again
Some people get hurt and give the drugs a binge
Some people get dressed and go and hit the club to mend
There's no love in one-night stands, but you can play pretend
Not me, I'ma admit it
All of these hoes one thing, that's pretentious
And if I know one thing, then I know this
It's us forever, worse or better, no discussion, that's how I'm comin'
When it's dark outside, you're always the light (oh yeah)
This heart of mine was once cold as the ice (oh, oh)
The more I try, the more I open my mind, for you
To find, the demons hidin' deep inside
