But unlike, say, the time-warped reminiscing of Charli XCX and Troye Sivan, Lizzo finds a way to dust some modern-day magic into the otherwise-retro video. She pays a small nod to ASMR queen Spirit Payton, better known on YouTube as ASMRTheChew. \n \nKeeping with the infomercial theme, the end of the video directs the viewer to blameitonthejuice.com, which leads to a cartooned microsite housing all of Lizzo's awesome visuals to date, and says to allow three to six weeks for delivery. Is this a timeline for Lizzo's 2019 domination? \n \n\"The juice ain't worth the squeeze if the juice don't look like this,\" Lizzo sings in the second verse. If we can muster up even a few drops of her fresh-squeezed, self-loving braggadocio to carry us all the way through the year, we should be all right.
