Opening with a dirty delta-blues guitar riff and church organ hums, Jelly Roll sets the tone with a soul-heavy chorus:
“I lost it in the bottle / I found it in the pain / Buried my name in the ashes / Now I’m back in the game…”
Then Eminem storms in with a verse that sounds like a confession booth caught fire:
“I was face-down in the mirror / Screaming at a ghost / Thought the throne was gone forever / But I missed it the most…”
The beat? A grimy, foot-stomping fusion of Southern gospel, blues, and hard-hitting hip-hop 808s.
It’s Johnny Cash meets Marshall Mathers in a smoky dive bar with no rules and too many regrets.
The Message: No Glory Without Grit
Both artists have lived through hell — and they’re not hiding it.
In “Got My Mojo Back,” they wear their wounds like medals, confronting addiction, self-sabotage, lost faith, and the long crawl back to the light.
“This ain’t a flex,” Jelly said in a behind-the-scenes clip. “It’s a scar I’m proud of.”
Eminem added:
“I didn’t want to make a hit. I wanted to make something that hurts, then heals. This is for the ones who don’t think they’ll ever get up again.”
Music Video: Raw, Real, and Redemption-Fueled
The video, directed by Cole Bennett, features an abandoned church, a burning chair, rain-soaked alleyways, and an old man dancing with joy in the street — symbolizing the moment when broken men reclaim their rhythm.
Watch for the final shot: Eminem and Jelly Roll walking away from a demolished stage as the words “Still Standing” flicker behind them.
Fan Reaction: “This One Saved Me.”

More Than a Song — It’s a Revival
“Got My Mojo Back” isn’t flashy. It’s not commercial.
It’s gravel in your gut and gospel in your chest.
It’s what happens when two men dig deep — and bring you with them.
So if you’re lost, low, or feel like you left your power behind?
Press play.
Because this song doesn’t just slap —
it saves.
