I Like Me Better

Lauv

Lauv/Kobalt Music Recordings

WE SAY

With over 200 million streams for his latest release, I Like Me Better, and his debut sleeper hit The Other clocking up over 125 million streams, it's safe to say that 23-year-old LA-based singer/songwriter/producer Ari Leff aka Lauv has the knack of crafting intimate, laid-back pop masterpieces. I Like Me Better is a beautiful, uptempo track with warm, playful melodies and soul-baring lyrics that has mesmerised listeners with its touching "I like me better when I'm with you" chorus line. Backed by remixes from Cheat Codes and Ryan Riback, the single is currently top 10 in Australian and German charts, been steadily climbing the American Top 40 Radio charts and has seen considerable success at commercial and regional radio in the UK, including being featured as Scott Mills' ‘Tune of the Week’ on Radio 1. Recent tastemaker support has come from an interview in  Wonderland magazine as well as Clash, Idolator, Billboard, MTV and many more featuring the song and the utterly charming video. In addition to his own burgeoning solo career, he lends his vocals to DJ Snake's new single A Different Way and his recent songwriting credits include Boys by Charli XCX and No Promises by Cheat Codes and Demi Lovato. With talent like this it’s no wonder that he is on the cusp of global superstar status.
