About this song
- “I THOUGHT THAT I NEEDED YOU” is track 3 on The Kid LAROI’s debut studio album THE FIRST TIME, released on November 10, 2023. The song is a somber reflection on emotional detachment, self-deception, and the aftermath of a toxic relationship, showing LAROI pulling back the curtain on a love he once thought he couldn’t live without. Set over a melancholic, guitar-driven beat, the track showcases LAROI at his most restrained and introspective. The tone is quieter and colder than much of the album’s earlier heartbreak anthems showing more realization. The title itself hints at a pivotal emotional shift: he’s no longer pleading for someone to come back, he’s processing the fact that he gave too much to someone who didn’t deserve it. .
