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

Track 11 on this 15-song gut-punch, it’s LAROI at his most stripped-back: breathy vocals gliding over minimalist beats—think echoing piano keys and subtle trap snares that let the emotion bleed without drowning it. It’s pop-rap with an indie confessional twist, co-produced by himself alongside Omer Fedi and MESSY, channeling that signature Australian drawl into hooks that stick like late-night regrets.

Thematically, it’s a twisted hallelujah for dodging bullets in a toxic romance—the relief of “thank god” it’s over, laced with the what-ifs that keep you up. Whispers of divine intervention meet street-level scars, like praying for escape while replaying the wreckage. No features here; it’s pure Charlton Howard, raw from the journal pages, teased in a cryptic Insta clip last week where he mouthed the chorus under rain-slicked Sydney streets, hinting at the personal exorcism baked in.

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.
