Vulnerability washes over The Kid Laroi in "Nights Like This," an emotional track that finds the Aussie artist yearning for a past love on a lonely night. He feels exposed and in need of support, craving the connection they once shared. The melancholic melody and eerie production, crafted by New Jersey musician Clams Casino (known for his work with Jhene Aiko and A$AP Rocky), create a spacey atmosphere that reflects Laroi's longing. He desperately seeks the comfort of his former partner. Laroi recorded "Nights Like This" for his 2023 debut album The First Time. At 1:26, it's the shortest track on the record (barring the interludes).

Hold my hand until we turn to ashes
Love me 'til they put me in my casket
I got all these feelings that I'm maskin'
Can I lay it on you? That's what I'm askin'

Day one, kissing, a house, it's your parents
Dived 'fore you went in, how'd you forget it?
I think about you and nothin' else
So if you would just come over, I could show you for myself

It's nights like this when I need your love
When I need someone that'll heal my soul
It's nights like this
Nights like, nights like this, ooh-ooh

Nights like this
Ooh-ooh

It's nights like this when I need your love
When I need someone that'll heal my soul
It's night like this
Nights like, nights like this, ooh-ooh
