Data Insight
The writing habit does not change, all fifteen tracks co-written with LAROI on every one, but the room does. Where the debut passed through a dozen producers, this record narrows to DOPAM!NE and Andrew Aged doing most of the work, and Aged also appears as a featured performer on '5:21AM'. That concentration is what makes it read as a genre turn rather than a change of subject.
Before I Forget is The Kid LAROI's second studio album, released on 9 January 2026 through Columbia Records. Fifteen tracks run 44 minutes and move from the pop-rap of his debut into R&B. It reached number 11 in Canada, number 20 in Flanders and number 23 in the Netherlands, and produced the singles 'A Cold Play', 'A Perfect World', 'Back When You Were Mine' and 'Rather Be'.
