Global sensation The Kid LAROI, has announced the rerelease of his critically acclaimed debut—THE FIRST TIME—in a brand new DELUXE VERSION, which includes five new fresh numbers that further showcase his artistic breadth and evolution.
On the deluxe version, LAROI presents a follow-up to viral hit “Nights Like This” with “NIGHTS LIKE THIS PT 2.” It goes without saying that this record was highly anticipated; LAROI teased a snippet on TikTok that raked up over 2 million views before it was released. Here, he weaves his emotive vocal delivery through icy synths to capture the raw vulnerability of heartbreak. Lyrics like “I still can’t believe you took off from me when you knew I needed you most,” feel particularly deep, and help set up the haunting refrain: “It’s nights like this when I’m too fucked up.”
LAROI showcases his versatility, going through decades of music, from the use of Player’s smooth “Baby Come Back” in “BABY I’M BACK” to PM Dawn’s “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” in “STICK WITH ME.” Then there’s the hypnotic flow of “Pick Sides,” another previously previewed online fan favorite, followed by “HATCHED,” featuring Lil Yachty, who adds flair to the mix.
Released originally last November, THE FIRST TIME has gone on to become an international phenomenon, racking up in excess of 1 billion streams. The LP boasts an impressive roll call of guests, including Jung Kook, Central Cee, Future, NBA YoungBoy, d4vd, and BabyDrill. Its broad list of standouts includes the first iteration of “NIGHTS LIKE THIS,” which has exploded for 125 million streams while cracking the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Fresh from the North American leg of THE FIRST TIME TOUR, LAROI has just played to 31 cities, turning fans on with sold-out shows. This November, he’ll return to Australia for a monumental arena tour with special guests Quavo and ONEFOUR. This marks a huge moment in his career, pointing toward the rapid rise into global superstardom. (See Australian tour dates below.)
THE FIRST TIME (DELUXE VERSION) reaffirms The Kid LAROI’s place at the forefront of the music industry, blending raw emotion with innovative production, and continuing to captivate audiences around the globe.
