A Sting melody, reimagined for a new generation

Juice WRLD’s breakthrough single built a modern heartbreak anthem on a classic guitar line.

Lucid Dreams

Juice WRLD

Juice WRLD released “Lucid Dreams” in 2018. The track is built on the guitar melody of Sting’s “Shape of My Heart,” turned into the backdrop for a raw, melodic song about a relationship that won’t let go.

It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and made Juice WRLD one of the defining voices of melodic hip-hop.

Years later it remains one of the most-played songs of its era, carried by a vocal that sounds as vulnerable today as it did on release.
