Released via Columbia Records, Before I Forget is LAROI’s first full-length studio album in two years and follows the release of his 2023 debut album, The First Time. The album includes the previously released singles ‘A Cold Play’, ‘A Perfect World’ and ‘Back When You Were Mine’ and explores the breakdown of a relationship.
Taking to Instagram to announce the album, LAROI wrote: “I made this album in the last 4 months. I had a whole other album that was completed but I scrapped it. started again from scratch with the exception of 1 song. it’s my favorite thing I’ve ever made. it’s also the most personal thing I’ve ever made. sorry it’s taken a while. I hope that it resonates with you in some way cause it means a hell of a lot to me. I love you and thank you for supporting me always.”
Before I Forget was co-produced and co-written by Laroi’s younger brother Auz and features contributions from artists including Andrew Aged, Clara La San, and Lithe, and producers such as KBeazy, Omer Fedi, Jack Mello and more.
