After dominating charts around the world with his smash hit ‘Without You’, The Kid Laroi is ready for world domination. The star recently signed to Scooter Braun for representation so it’s unsurprising that the star has teamed up with Justin Bieber for his new single ‘Stay’.
The love song sees both artists singing to their significant others begging them to stay.
On the new single, The Kid Laroi explains that was probably the most organically created song of his career so far.
“I’ve had ‘Stay for about a year now,” he told NME. “I was over at my friend Blake’s [Slatkin] house. It was me, Blake, my boy Omer [Fedi] and Charlie Puth. We were all just hanging out, and Charlie went over to the keyboard and just started playing stuff…and what he played was the ‘Stay’ [melody], and I was like, ‘What’s that?’ and he’s like, ‘Oh, no, I’m just fucking around.’ And I’m like, ‘No, no, no. Pull up a Pro Tools session, record this shit, this shit’s fire.’”
He continued: “It was probably the most organic way of making a song I’ve ever done – ever. It reminded me of the first time [I got to] get into a studio and stuff. We didn’t plan for the song to happen. We never planned a studio session or anything like that, so it was crazy.”
On the collaboration, the 17-year-old said “One day I was just listening to it and was like, fuck, Justin [Bieber] would sound perfect on this,” he explained. “So I actually pulled up to the studio that he works at, and I just came with the fucking file. I was like, ‘You ready?’ and he was like, ‘Yup’. And he just did it. He just went into the booth and just freestyled the shit off top; it was the craziest shit. I was like, ‘Yo, this guy’s out of his mind.’”
