"Too Much" is a genre-blending hit featuring BTS' Jungkook and British rapper Central Cee. Released by Kid Laroi on October 20, 2023, under Columbia Records, it's a single from his debut studio album, The First Time. The track delves into a love story gone awry. The song opens with the chorus, where Jungkook searches for answers to their romantic downfall. Kid Laroi then steps up to the mic, owning up to an unspecified mistake. He's splurged on a lavish shopping spree, replacing his romantic partner's wardrobe. Laroi hoped it would mend the rift, but she still keeps complaining. Central Cee takes the second verse, defending his fidelity and highlighting cultural differences between the UK and the US. He also touches on his girl's struggle with appetite suppression through drugs and his own efforts to be a better lover. We then hear Kid Laroi get overwhelmed when the girl sends him an angry text. Clearly, it's all becoming "too much" for him. Laroi and Cench co-wrote the song with Justin Bieber, Billy Walsh, and Charlie Flatten, alongside producers Emile Haynie, Omer Fedi, Blake Slatkin, and Jasper Harris. Justin Bieber previously teamed up with Laroi for his 2021 hit "Stay," which Fedi and Slatkin co-produced. Walsh, Fedi and Slatkin also co-wrote the Australian rapper's smash "Without You."
