The music for the song was written primarily by KMFDM frontman Sascha Konietzko, who asked returning band member Raymond Watts to write the lyrics for "Juke Joint Jezebel" as well as a few other tracks from Nihil.[5] Also credited as authors are En Esch and Guenter Schulz.[6]

The original version of the song was used in the 1995 movie Bad Boys, while the "Metropolis Remix" of the song was featured in the Mortal Kombat movie and soundtrack. Both soundtracks eventually went platinum.[4][7] The album version of the song can also be heard in the "Home is Where the Tart Is" episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.[8] On February 20, 2010, "Juke Joint Jezebel" was made available as a downloadable song for the game Rock Band.[9]
