THANK GOD Lyrics – The Kid LAROI | from “BEFORE I FORGET”

The Kid LAROI’s unraveling the knots of love gone sour on BEFORE I FORGET, his third studio album hitting January 9 via Columbia Records, and “THANK GOD” feels like that first deep breath after the storm—grateful, jagged, and unapologetically alive.

This one’s Laroi at his most exposed: a brooding pop-rap confessional with shimmering guitar licks and those signature auto-tuned croons that build from whisper to wail. Co-produced by Eddie Benjamin and Zack Sekoff, with Devin Workman engineering the polish, it’s got that arena-ready sheen—think hazy synths under punchy drums, evoking late-night drives where regret rides shotgun.

Thematically, it’s all tangled aftermath: the sting of hearing rumors about your ex moving on, that futile plea for them to own the mess (“Am I insane for saying you are entirely to blame?”), and the gut-twist of loving harder than they ever could. It’s not rage; it’s the quiet unraveling, a nod to his emo-rap roots but laced with matured ache, like he’s finally naming the ghosts instead of just chasing them.

BEFORE I FORGET lives up to its name—a frantic snapshot of a breakup’s blur, pulling from the Akan-inspired sankofa vibe but flipped to romantic ruins. It’s stacked with singles like the icy “A Cold Play” (out since September), the wistful “A Perfect World,” and “Back When You Were Mine,” plus fresh collabs: Lithe on the brooding “Rather Be,” Andrew Aged trading verses on “5: 21 AM,” and Clara La San closing with her ethereal touch. Clocking around 40 minutes, the tracklist flows like a therapy tape—interludes like “HER” punctuating the chaos of “July,” “Private,” and “I’M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU.” Recorded between LA haze and Sydney homecomings post his ’25 split, it’s less about rage, more about reclaiming the fragments before they fade.

LAROI’s storming into 26 like he owns the wreckage, fresh off F*CK LOVE 3’s platinum scars and that “STAY” billion-stream shadow with Bieber. The kid from Waterloo who went viral at 16 is all man now—touring arenas solo, dodging tabloid traps, and channeling the ex’s ghost into gold. This album? It’s his pivot from boyband bait to bard of the barely holding on, proving heartbreak’s his sharpest muse yet.
