"AGATS2 (Insecure)" is a song by American rapper Juice WRLD and Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, released on November 15, 2024. It is the second single from the former's fifth and final studio album The Party Never Ends (2024) and a sequel to his song "All Girls Are the Same" (2018). Produced by Louis Bell, the song features background vocals from American singer Halsey.[2]
"AGATS2 (Insecure)" is a trap-pop song that finds both artists rapping and singing. Juice Wrld expresses his sorrow from unrequited love in the first verse,[3] starting with the opening line from the original "All Girls Are the Same" ("I admit it, another ho got me finished") and mentioning how he self-medicates. His tone changes from sad to aggressive as he directs his attention to the boyfriend of the woman he loves, even suggesting to kill him. Nicki Minaj sings the last line of the verse, referencing lyrics from her feature on "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris ("It's Friday the 13th and guess who playing Jason").[4] On the chorus, Juice Wrld sings "And your insecurities / Will get the best of me". The second verse finds Minaj briefly taking shots at her detractors, before Juice Wrld details trying to recover from a night of taking many drugs. Minaj follows with a short verse of her own, in which she raps about not being the partner in the relationship who is insecure.
Elias Andrews of HotNewHipHop wrote, "The instrumental is classic Juice WRLD. It's spacey, bassy, and allows for the rapper's vocals to weave in and out. Juice WRLD often had an echo effect applied to his vocals that made it seem as though he was projecting from a huge, empty room. And the decision to do so here is reminder of his unique voice. It's a pretty melodic cut, overall, so it should come as no surprise that Nicki Minaj decides to take a more soft approach on her feature. She doesn't drop an aggressive sixteen, but rather harmonizes with Juice in a way that compliments both of their voices. 'AGATS2 (Insecure)' isn't a mind-blowing Juice song, but it's proof that there's plenty of quality material that fans have yet to hear."[5]
