JULY Lyrics – The Kid LAROI

“JULY” Lyrics by The Kid LAROI is a latest English song from BEFORE I FORGET (DELUXE VERSION) in the voice of The Kid LAROI. Its music too is composed by singer while brand new “JULY” song lyrics are also written by The Kid LAROI.

The global music landscape is bracing for the impact of The Kid LAROI as he prepares to unveil his latest sonic evolution. After a series of cryptic teases and high-octane live performances throughout 2025, the Australian superstar has confirmed that his newest musical offering, “JULY”, will serve as a cornerstone of his sophomore studio effort. This track arrives at a pivotal moment for the 22-year-old artist, who has spent the last year refining a sound that bridges the raw emotional grit of his mixtape roots with the polished, high-gloss production of contemporary Pop.

The song is part of the highly anticipated album titled BEFORE I FORGET, which is scheduled for a worldwide release on January 9, 2026. Distributed under the prestigious Columbia Records banner, the project represents a significant departure from his previous work. The Kid LAROI, born Charlton Howard, revealed in recent interviews that he scrapped an entire nearly-finished album to start fresh, seeking a more authentic and personal narrative. “JULY” exemplifies this shift, characterized as a Pop Rap ballad that leans heavily into the Emo Rap sensibilities that first garnered him a cult following on SoundCloud.

Musically, the track features the fingerprints of elite collaborators. Industry heavyweight Jon Bellion is credited as a primary writer alongside The Kid LAROI, while the production was spearheaded by Rogét Chahayed, known for his work with Drake and Travis Scott. The song is recorded primarily in English and clocks in at approximately three minutes and twelve seconds. “JULY” explores themes of nostalgic regret and the passage of time, a recurring motif in Howard’s lyrics since his breakout success with the FCK LOVE trilogy. Trivia enthusiasts have noted that the song title may be a subtle nod to the anniversary of his debut mixtape release in “JULY” 2020, which famously catapulted him to become the youngest Australian solo artist to top the Billboard 200.

Reflecting on his past work, The Kid LAROI has come a long way from his early days in Waterloo. From his massive global hit STAY with Justin Bieber to his recent experiments with K-Pop icon Jung Kook, his trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric. The new album features a robust selection of tracks that highlight his growth as a vocalist and songwriter. Below is the full tracklist for the 15-track odyssey:
