currentComp is not defined.

renamed currentComp to mycomp but now it only works on 1 selected comp and not multiple comps. Do i need a for/while command of some kind??

Yes, yo’ll need a loop to do that:
for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){
if (app.project.item(i) instanceof CompItem){
var myComp = app.project.item(i);
var backgroundLayer = myComp.layers.addSolid([93, 5, 2], "Background", 100, 100 ,1, myComp.duration);
backgroundLayer.Effects.addProperty("Drop Shadow");
backgroundLayer.property("Effects").property("Drop Shadow").property("Softness").setValue([28]);
}
}
