Unveiling the Story Behind The Kid LAROI's Hit Song "Stay

The Kid LAROI recently clarified the origins of his hit song "Stay" with Justin Bieber, emphasizing that he wrote all the lyrics except for Bieber's verse. The track topped the charts in 2021 and received multiple awards, making history on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite initial misconceptions that the song was pitched to them or written by Charlie Puth, LAROI confirmed his significant contribution to the lyrics during a Twitch stream.

Puth, who co-produced "Stay," shared insights on the song's chord construction in a 2022 interview, leading some to believe he wrote the entire track independently of LAROI and Bieber. LAROI expressed pride in his role in creating the song at just 17 years old and debunked the notion that it was handed to him. He acknowledged the collaborative effort behind the song while emphasizing his lyrical contributions.

LAROI is gearing up to release his second album, "Before I Forget," following the success of his debut project, "The First Time." With singles like "A Cold Play" already out, fans are eagerly anticipating the new record, speculating on its themes, including references to his past relationship with Tate McRae.
