• "In My Head" covers familiar Juice WRLD territory: the rapper's struggles with anxiety and depression.
• Juice laments how marijuana doesn't fix his pain. The weed has the opposite effect, making his mental health issues worse.
  
  Fill my lungs with Ganja
  When they fill my brain with drama
  From my past, I have all this trauma
  
  He tries earning big dough as a coping mechanism, but still the demons lurk inside him.
  
  Getting cash, hope the racks solve my problems
  But it don't work, uh, no, it won't work out
  
  Meaningless sex is another potential solution, but as he's already heartbroken, it makes Juice feel worse still.
  
  Heartbreak Hotel, leave a ho hurt
  'Cause I been hurt had a hole first
  In my chest, it made my life lifeless
  
  Juice is stuck inside his head. Nothing he tries frees him from the prison of his mind.
• Previous Juice WRLD collaborator Max Lord ("Blood On My Jeans ," "Girl Of My Dreams") created the trilling guitar and trap-drum-infused production with TrePounds and Sheldon Ferguson.
• Juice died of a drug overdose in December 2019, six days after turning 21. He was hugely prolific in the studio, so despite passing away at such a young age, he left behind a lot of unheard music. According to his manager, Lil Bibby, "over 1,500" of the late rapper's songs have leaked, and he has a mammoth task digging through the crates.
  
  Juice first previewed "In My Head" on August 30, 2019; it came to Lil Bibby's attention when Max Lord pulled up at a Malibu studio and played him some Juice songs he'd never heard before. This one stuck with him, and after playing it in his car nonstop, Bibby released it as a single on October 28, 2022.
• Bibby teased the song prior to its release under the title "Rush Hour" as a code name to prevent it from leaking.
