By the Numbers
Kygo co-wrote every track on Kids in Love with featured vocalists and additional songwriters; he is the sole producer throughout. It Ain't Me with Selena Gomez, co-written with Ali Tamposi, Andrew Watt, and others, peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Each track pairs Kygo with a different vocalist, reflecting his model of album-as-anthology of individual songwriting collaborations.
Kids in Love is the second studio album by Kygo, released in November 2017 on Sony Music / RCA and self-produced by Kygo. Building on the foundation of Cloud Nine, the album pursued a broader pop sound with an even more star-studded guest list including OneRepublic, John Legend, Julia Michaels, and Imagine Dragons. The title track with The Night Game became a radio staple, and 'It Ain't Me', a pre-album duet with Selena Gomez released in 2017, had already reached the top ten in over thirty countries, demonstrating Kygo's continued commercial growth. The album debuted in the top ten in multiple countries and showed Kygo deepening his pop instincts while maintaining the breezy, vacation-soundtrack quality that had made his debut so beloved. Kids in Love is a polished and confident commercial pop record.
