"Juggernaut" is a song by American rapper Tyler, the Creator featuring fellow American rappers Lil Uzi Vert and Pharrell Williams, released on June 25, 2021 as a track from the former's sixth studio album Call Me If You Get Lost.

Composition

The song contains a reverberating bass in the production and sees Tyler, the Creator boasting about his wealthy lifestyle and clothing line Golf Wang.

Wongo Okon of Uproxx wrote of "Juggernaut", "The track is a bass-knocking number that's equally chaotic and erratic as it is energetic and bouncy. This is thanks in large part raucous placement of the song's drums that provide a unique landscape for the three rappers to lay their bars on."

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. Chris DeVille of Stereogum wrote it "brings the best out of both Lil Uzi Vert and Pharrell, who goes wild in a way I haven't heard since Future's 'Move That Dope'". Luke Morgan Britton of NME called it a "bassy bruiser". Jeff Ihaza of Rolling Stone remarked the song is "a collaboration that makes almost too much sense, and one that might erase memory of the lackluster 'Neon Guts' from Uzi's Luv is Rage 2. It's Tyler in his element, spewing silly but kind of genius bars ('I'm so fuckin deadass I need some Timberlands') and bragging like someone whose known how much they deserve for a very long time. It's not necessarily the best track on Call Me, but it is easily the most fun. Tyler's approach remains as anti-professional as ever. He's done rapping about sexual assault and violence for the sake of shock value, but he's not done ignoring the industry at large. On 'Juggernaut,' we hear how refreshing that feels for his collaborators — both Uzi and Pharrell sound enlivened — and get a sense for the power Tyler, the Creator has harnessed in his decade-long career." Jon Caramanica of The New York Times favorably responded to Pharrell's verse, calling it one of the "startlingly good guest verses from his elders". David Crone of AllMusic commented, "an intergalactic warble colours Uzi's 'JUGGERNAUT' tour-de-force".

Music video

An official music video was directed by Tyler, the Creator (under his alias Wolf Haley) and released alongside the song. It begins with Tyler walking through a lemon field, before performing on top of a monster truck styled as a Rolls Royce Cullinan, which is being pulled with a rope by a clone of himself. The video ends with Tyler falling from the sky, when the words "Call Me If You Get Lost" suddenly appear. Lil Uzi Vert and Pharrell do not appear in the video; Tyler performs his own verse as well as Uzi's.
