Australian rapper and singer The Kid LAROI recruits American singer Miley Cyrus for the remix to his November 2020 hit track, “WITHOUT YOU,” which sees the two sing about a love-hate relationship.
LAROI initially hinted towards the collaboration with Miley in a March 2021 Instagram post displaying the two in a studio together. The following month, LAROI’s manager Lil Bibby revealed Miley’s placement on the remix in a text conversation screenshot posted to his Instagram story.
On April 20, 2021, Miley previewed a snippet of the track via TikTok, which features her singing the track’s pre-chorus and an extra verse, and LAROI officially announced it two days later in an Instagram post, revealing its release date and cover art.
