"Without You" (stylised in all caps) is a song by Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi from the deluxe "Savage" edition of his debut mixtape F*ck Love (2020). It was released to alternative radio on 18 December 2020 as the fifth overall single from the mixtape.[1][2]

A remix of "Without You" with American singer Miley Cyrus was released on 30 April 2021. The Kid Laroi had first discussed a forthcoming collaboration with Cyrus in an interview with Billboard on 6 April.[3] The remix itself was first previewed in a TikTok video by Cyrus on 21 April,[4] and the release date was confirmed by both artists on 23 April.[5] It was also Cyrus' first release since signing with Columbia Records in March 2021.[6] It is Cyrus' first remix as a featured artist.

The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 63, on the week of 19 December 2020, and peaked at number 23 in May 2021. The remix with Cyrus boosted the popularity of the song later, with the track reaching a new peak of number eight on the Hot 100, becoming Laroi's first top-ten song as lead artist and highest-charting single until the release of "Stay". It is also his first number-one single in Australia.

At the 2021 ARIA Music Awards, the song was nominated for Best Hip Hop Release and Song of the Year.[7]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2022, the song was nominated for Most Performed Australian Work and Most Performed Hip Hop/Rap Work, winning the latter.[8][9]
