"Without You" (stylised in all caps) is a song by Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi from the deluxe "Savage" edition of his debut mixtape F*ck Love (2020).
[11] Different types of drums were tried out on the track, but the decision was eventually made to exclude them, with Laroi explaining that "it takes away the whole feeling from it".
[13][14][15][16] Following a basic chord progression, Laroi performs the song with "hoarse, almost grunted vocals" that are "pushed to the upper limits of their range".
[17][18] It sees Laroi lamenting about saying all the wrong things and ending up alone: "You cut out a piecе of me, and now I bleed internally / Left hеre without you / Without you.
[13] In Australia, "Without You" entered the ARIA Singles Chart at number nine in December 2020, making it the highest debut of the week and Laroi's second appearance in the top ten.
[27] It later broke the record for the most weeks at number one on Australia's radio airplay chart, surpassing the 13-week run of Bernard Fanning's "Wish You Well".
[34][35] The song peaked at number two, being blocked from the top spot by Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License", and was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
[36][37] "Without You" topped several record charts around Europe, including the Flanders region of Belgium,[38] Finland,[39] Norway,[40] Portugal,[41] and Slovakia.
The video shows 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.
