Kid LAROI finally put an end to the long-running debate Stay Composition credits to rest.
The Australian pop star addressed the confusion over Charlie Puth writing the lyrics to her hit 2021 duet with Justin Bieber.
During The road to Before I Forget On his Twitch stream on Tuesday, December 23, the 22-year-old debunked misconceptions and revealed that it was himself and Bieber, 31, who wrote their own verses.
“I wrote every lyric to that song except Justin’s verse,” the Too Much rapper set the record straight once and for all. “Justin wrote every lyric of his verse. There has been some misinterpretation at some point in the time when the song was presented to us.”
“People think that Charlie [Puth] He wrote the song and gave it to us. That didn’t happen. I wrote every lyric in that prick style,” he clarified.
For the uninitiated, in a 2022 SiriusXM interview, Puth, who co-produced Stayexplained how he constructed the chords for the single.
However, some netizens took his statement as if see you again The singer’s explanation means that he wrote the entire song without the participation of LAROI, whose real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard or the Baby hitmaker.
“I definitely got discouraged when I started seeing people say that I didn’t write [Stay] because I was so proud of it,” the Australian musician expressed his frustration on the stream at not getting credit for something he’s genuinely proud of. “I was 17 years old. And I’m still very proud of that. That is an achievement and something to be proud of. …Like, ‘Damn, do people think this song was just given to me?’ “That’s very crazy.”
He acknowledged other people’s contributions and emphasized that it was a collaborative effort.
At the same time, LAROI clearly conveyed that he personally wrote every lyric of the song except Bieber’s verse.
