"Juicebox" is the first single from The Strokes' third album, "First Impressions of Earth", released in the US in October 2005. Julian Casablancas was quoted in "Spin Magazine" as saying this about the song: "I remember people saying this track's ugly, I think it's got a great personality." The track was leaked long before it was released as a single. The early leaking of the song forced the band and managers to release it as a single in iTunes format earlier than previously planned.

Their first single in over a year, "Juicebox" marks the Strokes' second single to reach the Top 10 in the UK and also their highest charting single to date. The song borrows some elements from the theme to the late '50s television show "Peter Gunn".

The video for "Juicebox", directed by Michael Palmieri with cinematography by Christopher Doyle, features comedian David Cross as a DJ in a radio station in New York City. The video caused some controversy because it contained an abundance of sexual content, which caused Palmieri to do major edits on the video so that it would be less explicit. Soon after the release of the video, he criticized MTV's censorship and took his name out of the video that would be shown on television. The b-side to the single is the song "Hawaii".
