"Without You" (stylised in all caps) is a song by Australian rapper and singer The Kid Laroi. It was sent to alternative radio on 18 December 2020 as the second single (fifth overall) and the first international single from the deluxe edition of Laroi's debut mixtape F*ck Love.[1][2]

Composition and TikTok trend

On "Without You", The Kid Laroi portrays what a love-hate relationship looks like, communicating his feelings towards a girl on the track while dealing with the struggles of a heartbreak.[3][unreliable source]

In December 2020, the song started trending on the video-sharing app TikTok, with videos set to the lyrics: "And I can't take it back, so in the past is where we'll leave it/So there you go/Can't make a wife out of a ho", referring to making light of less-than-ideal romantic situations.[4]

Music video

The music video for "Without You", directed by Steve Cannon, premiered on 16 December 2020. The video shows The Kid Laroi alone in a myriad of vast and expansive locations, including a salt lake and a snow-covered forest before getting "caked in the face" at a party.[5]
