NEVER CAME BACK Lyrics – The Kid LAROI | from “BEFORE I FORGET”

This one’s the 10th track on the lineup, a 2:58 slice of emo-rap that digs into the ache of walking away from something real. Picture hazy synths layering over a steady trap beat, with LAROI’s voice cracking just enough to sell the vulnerability—think his signature blend of pop hooks and punk-edged confessionals. Thematically, it’s all regret wrapped in hindsight: grappling with the pull of what was, the sting of realizing you never turned back, and that quiet what-if hanging in the air. No big collabs here; it’s pure LAROI, stripping down to verses that hit like “I said I’d leave, but damn, I lied,” turning personal wreckage into something you can scream-sing in the car.

BEFORE I FORGET clocks in at 15 tracks, a Columbia Records release that’s basically LAROI’s scrapbook of love’s fallout—memories you wish you could erase before they define you. It kicks off with the intimate “ME + YOU” and rolls through standouts like the brooding “JULY,” the feature-heavy “RATHER BE” with Lithe, and the dreamy “THE MOMENT” alongside Clara La San. There’s “A PERFECT WORLD” already out as the lead single, dropping that glossy pop sheen on deeper cuts, plus interludes like “HER INTERLUDE” to let the emotions breathe. The whole thing builds this arc from fresh wounds to hard-won clarity, with runtimes keeping it tight and replayable.

Right now, LAROI’s in that sweet spot of evolution, three years past his debut’s teen-fueled chaos in F*ck Love and building on The First Time’s more polished introspection. At 22, he’s trading wild nights for wiser scars, channeling Aussie grit into global anthems that feel lived-in, not just lived through. This album’s his way of closing chapters while cracking the door for what’s next—proof he’s growing without losing that fire.
