BEFORE I FORGET (DELUXE VERSION) Lyrics & Tracklist – The Kid LAROI, Lithe, Andrew Aged, & Clara La San

Following a period of intense creative transition, The Kid LAROI returns with BEFORE I FORGET, a project that serves as his second full-length studio album. Scheduled for release on January 9, 2026, via Columbia Records, the album emerges from the ashes of a previously scrapped project titled “Watch This!” LAROI has described this new body of work as his most personal to date, largely written and recorded within a condensed four-month window following his public separation from Tate McRae.

Album Overview & Production

The album represents a significant sonic evolution for the Australian artist, moving toward a more introspective and raw narrative. While his earlier work leaned heavily into melodic rap and polished pop-trap, BEFORE I FORGET delves into themes of heartbreak, self-reflection, and the complexities of young fame. The production is handled by an extensive roster of high-profile collaborators, including KBeazy, Omer Fedi, Andrew Aged, Daniel Aged, and Jack Karaszewski, among others. The musical style blends alternative R&B influences with LAROI’s signature melodic rap, creating a moody, atmospheric soundscape that reflects the emotional weight of the lyrics.

Release Information

The album was officially announced on November 20, 2025, alongside the single “A PERFECT WORLD.” The rollout included three primary singles: “A Cold Play,” “A Perfect World,” and the New Year’s release “Back When You Were Mine.” The deluxe version of the album expands upon the standard 15-track set, offering a comprehensive look at this chapter of LAROI’s career. It marks his first major full-length release since 2023’s THE FIRST TIME.
