This maybe should have been on the original debut.

The Kid LAROI finally made his comeback with his debut album THE FIRST TIME back in November of 2023. In typical fashion, the rapper and singer put a lot of different soundscapes on his record. From trap rap to singer/songwriter, LAROI brought out everything he had creatively onto one album. The Aussie spoke a lot about the things that have been weighing on him, especially during the project's rollout.

Fast forward to late January 2024 and we already have new music from the multi-talent. The 20-year-old phenom is back with a new single called "HEAVEN." According to Genius and Uproxx, this is going to be a part of a new record, or a deluxe version of the debut. There is no word on when any of that will be out, but those are the rumors going around right now.

Quotable Lyrics:

'Cause I was reckless, drinking every night
And gettin' high, nothin' there behind my eyes
I was numb inside, and I can't believe that I
Even stayed alive 'til you walked up in my life and now
