The Kid LAROI wrestles with the aftermath on A MILLION LIES, the raw standout from his sophomore album BEFORE I FORGET, set to arrive on January 9, 2026, through Columbia Records, and it hits like that late-night scroll through old texts you know you should delete but can’t quite bring yourself to.
LAROI has always worn his heart on the sleeve of his hoodie, but this one feels heavier. He wrote it in the thick of processing a breakup that bled into every corner of his life, turning doubt into hooks that loop like overthinking. The production keeps it sparse—moody keys and a beat that drags just enough to mirror the exhaustion—while his voice cracks on lines about cutting ties, forgiving anyway, and still wondering if she’s really better off. It’s got that signature blend of melody and confession, but matured; less teenage angst, more quiet realization that losing someone can sometimes be the win you needed. He previewed a chunk on TikTok last month and the comments flooded with people saying it felt like he read their group chat.
A MILLION LIES sits toward the back half of BEFORE I FORGET’s 14-track run, right in the reflective stretch after the more upbeat openers give way to the deeper cuts. The album’s whole vibe is looking back without getting stuck—tracks like the Justin Bieber-assisted one earlier keep it light, while closers lean into acceptance. It clocks just under 45 minutes, tight enough to spin on repeat when you’re in your feelings. It’s streaming everywhere now, no pre-save needed anymore.
LAROI’s only 22 but already sounds like he’s lived a few lifetimes, fresh off that massive F*CK LOVE era and tour legs that sold out arenas while he was still figuring out adulthood. This record feels like the exhale after all that noise—less about proving he’s the next big thing, more about making sense of the mess that got him here.
Fans are already clipping the “sometimes when you lose, you really win” line over glow-up montages, calling it the closure anthem we didn’t know we needed before the holidays hit.

Lyrics of A MILLION LIES by The Kid LAROI
[Verse 1]
I’m Over You But Hope That You’re Okay
‘Cause After All Girl What We Had Was Special
You Pushed Me Away, I Gave You Space
I Questioned Everything You Said A Million Times
[Pre-Chorus]
I Cut A Million Ties
We Gave It Million Tries
Told A Million Lies
But I Forgive You Now
‘Cause We Were Learning How To Love
But I Still Got A Question For You
[Chorus]
Tell Me, Was It Worth It In The End?
‘Cause You Don’t Look As Happy As You Did (No, No)
You Thought It Would Hurt Me, Don’t Forget
Sometimes When You Lose, You Really Win
[Verse 2]
Between Us Baby, Between Us Baby
Face To Face, Don’t Need That Baby
‘Cause If I Say What I’m Thinking Lately
That’s Some Shit You Gon’ Think I’m Crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
All The Things You Did, You Changed Me
Only Thing That Did Was Save Me (So Sad)
Convince Me To Come Back
Only Thing I Want To Be Is
[Chorus]
Tell Me, Was It Worth It In The End?
‘Cause You Don’t Look As Happy As You Did (No, No)
You Thought It Would Hurt Me, Don’t Forget
Sometimes When You Lose, You Really Win
Tell Me, Was It Worth It In The End?
‘Cause You Don’t Look As Happy As You Did
You Thought It Would Hurt Me, Don’t Forget
Sometimes When You Lose, You Really Win
