“Ayy, I drink Henn’, she drink Aperol Spritz / Ayy, girl, I promise you ain’t had it like this (Ayy).” She (Tate McRae) was specific in choosing Aperol Spritz as her drink wasn’t she The Kid LAROI (Charlton Howard)?  The pop singer also names his brief, 2:10 single “APEROL SPRITZ” (stylized in all caps). Howard penned “APEROL SPRITZ” alongside producers Devin Workman and Nico Baran.  As always, he brings ample swagger to the table, asserting, “There’s a whole lotta girls up in here, but / Can’t nobody fuck with my bitch.” The rizz, the rizz, the rizz is on fire!

The Kid LAROI, APEROL SPRITZ [📷: Columbia]“APEROL SPRITZ” provides a buzz.  It is groovy from the beginning. It benefits from a tuneful melody in the chorus.  The verses are interesting enough, though not earth-shattering.  In the first verse, the 21-year-old brags, “And she love me ‘cause I hit it ‘til the sunrise.” Oh, snap! In the second, he asserts, “Take you shoppin’, I’ma spend it on you just for love / I know you told me that you’re scared, but I’ma switch it up ‘cause.” Word.  He assures her in the pre-chorus despite the fineness of her friends, “You don’t gotta worry, baby, you’re mine.” “APEROL SPRITZ” is enjoyable.  Will it appeal to the non-Gen-Zer? Nah, but the fanbase will eat it up.
