“Smile,” the collaboration between The Weeknd and the late Juice WRLD, now has a music video.
The song originally premiered on Friday (August 7). Just a few months before he died, Juice WRLD tweeted, “Me and The Weeknd would make a diamond record…”
“I’d do anything in my power to see you just smile / I want you to prosper and come proper / Even if that means I ain’t by your side,” Juice WRLD raps on the song.
In April, Juice’s mother Carmela Wallace announced the establishment of the Live Free 999 Foundation, which will receive additional support via Grade A and Interscope Records. The Live Free 999 Fund will honor the legacy of her son by supporting young people in their battles and to do so with love, joy, and emotional honesty.
