Composition and TikTok trend

On "Without You", the Kid Laroi portrays what a love-hate relationship looks like, communicating his feelings towards a girl on the track while dealing with the struggles of a heartbreak.[3]

In December 2020, the song started trending on the video-sharing app TikTok, with videos set to the lyrics: "And I can't take it back, so in the past is where we'll leave it/So there you go/Can't make a wife out of a ho", referring to making light of less-than-ideal romantic situations.[4]

Music video

The music video for "Without You", directed by Steve Cannon, premiered on 16 December 2020. The video shows the Kid Laroi alone in a myriad of vast and expansive locations, including a salt lake and a snow-covered forest before getting "caked in the face" at a party.[5]
