The Kid LAROI is ready to shake up the pop game. Now, if you need some context, you should know that this Australian hitmaker first rose to stardom after his collab with pop king Justin Bieber in “STAY.” Shortly after, he went on to drop his mixtape, “F*ck Love,” and recently, he has been making waves with Jungkook of BTS and Central Cee with the super bop “TOO MUCH.” Now, this pop sensation is ready to slay once more with his new single.
We are talking about “WHAT JUST HAPPENED” (yes, stylized in caps), which was dropped today, October 27th. Lyrically, the song does not stand too far from “TOO MUCH,” but it does bring a switch-up in terms of sound – and we’re here for it, talk about The Kid LAROI being a vers king! Unlike its predecessor, this track sounds much more nostalgic and incorporates elements of pop and rock, while “TOO MUCH” focuses a little more on its rap and R&B influences.
The song didn’t come unannounced. Being the king that he is, LAROI first performed it on his “End of the World Tour,” and even posted a snippet of it on the Internet in 2022. Back then, this jam only had one verse and a chorus, which means stans had to wait almost a year to hear the full version of this masterpiece. But the wait is over, and all this time we spent hoping for a complete version was totally worth it!
Now, it’s time to mark your calendars! This track (along with “TOO MUCH”) is going to be included on LAROI’s debut album, titled “THE FIRST TIME.” That collection of bops will see the light of day on November 10, 2023, so we won’t have to wait too much for that Kid LAROI magic we love. In the meantime, here’s his latest track:
