Bandit (Juice Wrld and YoungBoy Never Broke Again song)

"Bandit" is a song by American rappers Juice Wrld and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, released as a single on October 4, 2019. It served as the final single released by Juice Wrld as a lead artist before his death, suffering from a seizure at Chicago's Midway Airport on December 8, 2019, a few days after his 21st birthday. It was later added to Juice Wrld's second studio album Death Race for Love as a bonus track.

The song received generally positive reviews from critics and fans alike. While some found YoungBoy's verse less impressive than Juice WRLD's, the track was praised for its catchy melodies, Juice WRLD's unique vocal delivery, and the song's overall energy. The song was particularly celebrated for showcasing Juice WRLD's freestyle ability and his ability to blend somber lyrics with catchy hooks. Written alongside producer Nick Mira, the song peaked at number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming NBA YoungBoy's highest-charting single on the chart and Juice Wrld's second top ten single following "Lucid Dreams", which peaked at number two on the Hot 100 in 2018. The artwork, featuring a crossover of Juice Wrld and NBA YoungBoy's likeness beneath a bandana, was created by Max Cohen and Robert Gotham.
