STILL CHOSE YOU (feat. Mustard)

The Kid LAROI's song 'STILL CHOSE YOU' featuring Mustard delves into the complexities of love, trust, and vulnerability. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young man grappling with his emotions and past experiences. The opening lines, 'I can see your face, see the light in your eyes / I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire,' set the stage for a narrative filled with emotional intensity and personal growth. The artist acknowledges the pain and challenges that come with love, suggesting that feeling pain is a sign of being alive and engaged in the relationship.

Throughout the song, The Kid LAROI reflects on his past promises to avoid falling in love again, only to find himself deeply involved once more. The repeated lines, 'I know I said I wouldn't but I fell in love again / Know I said I wouldn't, but look at where I am,' highlight his internal conflict and the inevitability of his feelings. Despite his previous experiences and trust issues, he chooses to be with this person, emphasizing the depth of his commitment with the chorus, 'All of these hoes and I still chose you / With all that I want and I still want you.'

The Kid LAROI admits to his flaws and past mistakes, such as having 'three different girls in a day,' and recognizes that his trust issues stem from his background and previous relationships. He expresses a hope that his current partner will not betray him like others have, revealing a deep-seated fear of vulnerability. The line, 'I hope you don't go to everyone / Tell 'em everything that I tell you,' underscores his desire for trust and loyalty in the relationship. Ultimately, 'STILL CHOSE YOU' is a raw and honest exploration of love's challenges, the struggle to trust, and the courage to choose love despite past pain.
