TOP 5 SONGS

5. COME DOWN

This track leans into escapism — getting drunk, getting high, and trying to numb the ache of missing someone who’s no longer there.

The Kid LAROI captures that specific feeling of dreading sobriety, knowing the emotions will hit harder once the buzz fades. The longing feels real, and the song fits neatly into the album’s overarching breakup narrative. “Come Down” doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it deepens the emotional arc of the project in a way that feels natural and relatable.

4. MAYBE I’M WRONG

This track is a pure emotional release. 

Built around soft piano and aching lyrics, “MAYBE I’M WRONG” finds LAROI putting his pride aside and owning his role in a failed relationship. It’s slow, melancholic, and filled with regret, capturing that moment when reflection hits harder than anger ever did. The honesty here is what makes it so moving — it’s not about blame, but about understanding. One of the album’s most emotionally open moments.

3. A COLD PLAY

“A COLD PLAY” feels comfortably within LAROI’s element.

It’s polished, catchy, and emotionally light compared to some of the heavier tracks, but still effective. The production is clean, the hook sticks instantly, and the song carries that familiar LAROI energy without tipping into desperation or over-dramatization. It’s playful and bittersweet, showing that he can still deliver accessible pop moments while staying emotionally honest.

2. 5:21AM 

Despite its short runtime, “5:21AM” is one of the album’s most impactful moments.

It feels almost genre-less — fragile, hushed, and deeply intimate. LAROI sounds like he’s whispering thoughts he’s afraid to say out loud, making the track feel raw and unfiltered. This is one of those songs you’ll either connect with instantly or not at all, but for those who do, it hits hard. It adds vulnerability and contrast to the album, proving that restraint can be just as powerful as big emotion.

1. ME + YOU

As the album’s opener, “ME + YOU” does exactly what it needs to do — it sets the emotional tone immediately. 

This track introduces a more mature, reflective The Kid LAROI, leaning into heartbreak with clarity instead of chaos. He sings about a relationship that once felt effortless — vacations, late nights, everyday closeness — now reduced to silence and distance. It’s catchy and melodic, but there’s real pain under the surface. You can hear confusion, loss, and disbelief all at once, making it a strong and emotionally grounding introduction.

RGM RATING

(80%)

The album BEFORE I FORGET blends pop with alternative R&B and subtle soulful elements, creating a sound that feels softer, more intentional, and more mature than his earlier work. Throughout the project, LAROI explores heartbreak, longing, self-reflection, and emotional accountability, often revisiting the same relationship from different emotional angles.

What stands out most is the vulnerability. Rather than leaning solely on explosive hooks or dramatic delivery, LAROI allows quiet moments to speak just as loudly. The album flows like a diary — fragmented thoughts, late-night regrets, moments of clarity, and emotional honesty stitched together into a cohesive narrative. BEFORE I FORGET isn’t just a breakup album; it’s a reflection on growth, memory, and learning how to sit with your emotions instead of running from them. It’s a surprising and rewarding listen that shows just how much LAROI has grown.
