GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum, chart-topping global superstar The Kid LAROI unveils his highly anticipated debut full-length album, BEFORE I FORGET, marking his return to the music scene after a two-year hiatus. Out now via Columbia Records, the album builds upon LAROI’s already impressive legacy, showcasing his growth as both an artist and a person.
BEFORE I FORGET is a compelling collection that delves deep into LAROI’s personal journey, exploring themes of vulnerability, emotional clarity, and introspection.

Defined by his unique blend of musical styles and fearless genre-bending, BEFORE I FORGET elevates his signature songwriting to new heights, with each track providing an intimate look into his evolving artistry.
The album’s launch is bolstered by the release of three singles—“A COLD PLAY,” “A PERFECT WORLD,” and “BACK WHEN YOU WERE MINE”—which have already captured the attention of both fans and critics. These tracks serve as a window into the album’s overarching themes, reflecting LAROI’s ongoing exploration of self-discovery and emotional growth.

Reflecting on the album’s message, LAROI shares, “BEFORE I FORGET is about the music. Nothing else. That’s what I want people to hear.” This statement encapsulates the essence of the album: an unwavering dedication to his craft, without distractions. LAROI’s focus remains solely on the authenticity of his music, aiming to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level.
BEFORE I FORGET follows LAROI’s 2023 album THE FIRST TIME, which was met with widespread acclaim.
