A remix version featuring American rapper Tyga was released as the lead single from her second studio album Hot Pink on August 15, 2019.
The song was written by Doja Cat, along with Lydia Asrat and producers Yeti Beats and Dr. Luke, under his pseudonym Tyson Trax.
Doja Cat's first song to achieve significant commercial success, "Juicy" has been awarded multiple certifications worldwide, including quadruple platinum in the United States from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and silver in the United Kingdom from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
[1][2] The solo version of "Juicy" was initially included as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of Doja Cat's debut studio album, Amala, on March 1, 2019.
[4] Doja Cat performed the solo version of "Juicy" at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, as part of a medley which also contained the songs "Like That" and "Say So".
[9] In the opening week for the deluxe version of Amala, "Juicy" entered New Zealand's Hot Singles Chart at number 35 as a non-single album track.
[18][19] Erin Bashford of Clash called the remix of "Juicy" the stand-out track of Hot Pink, remarking that "the song could be near-perfect if it wasn't for Tyga's verse, which feels unnatural".

The performance features Doja Cat wearing a watermelon unitard and two backup dancers dressed as lemons.
