Kids in Love is the second studio album by the Norwegian DJ and record producer Kygo, featuring John Newman, Jason Walker, Oliver Nelson, Bonnie McKee, OneRepublic, Wrabel, The Night Game, James Abrahart and Billy Raffoul.

[4] Kygo told Billboard in an interview that the album was inspired by Michael Jackson, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Avicii and Bon Iver.

[6] David Rishty of Billboard was positive towards the album, writing that it "mixes a multitude of genres, but manages to encompass a cohesive body of work, which radiates with Kygo's signature sound".

[7] Mark Mancino of The Nocturnal Times wrote that Kids in Love "presents a matured evolution of the signature tropical sound he's become most known for creating", and dubbed "Permanent" one of his favourite tracks of 2017, because of its "powerfully-effective lyric and euphoric melodies".

[8] Ollie Webber of The Edge similarly noted how, despite the presence of some standout tracks, some songs felt "bland and forgettable" and that the album as a whole "fail[ed] to deliver on the emotional potential of its title".
