"Legends" was released on June 22, 2018 as the second single of Juice WRLD's EP Too Soon.., ten days after the EP's release. It pays homage to the deceased rappers Lil Peep and XXXTentacion.
Background[]
The song is dedicated to Lil Peep, who died of a drug overdose in November 2017, and XXXTentacion, who was shot and killed in a robbery. X was murdered a day before Too Soon.. was released.
After Juice WRLD died from a seizure in December 2019 at 21, he was alleged to have predicted his death with the following lyrics from "Legends": "What's the 27 Club? / We ain't making it past 21."
The song initially peaked at 65 in 2018. However, following Juice WRLD's death, the song reentered the chart and peaked at 29 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts on December 20, 2019, the week following his death.
