Interested in music from a young age, the San Francisco-born Leff took piano and viola lessons as a child before picking up the guitar around age 11. During high school, he played in several bands and studied jazz before discovering electronic music production. However, it was while attending N.Y.U. as a music tech major in 2014 that a bad breakup found Leff on his own and digging deep into his writing and recording process. Out of this period came the song "The Other," co-written with songwriter/instrumentalist Michael Matosic. Released under Leff's stage name Lauv (inspired by the Latvian "lauva" or lion), the song went viral after gaining blog attention and peaked at number three on blog aggregator Hype Machine. In 2015 he returned with his debut EP, Lost in the Light, which featured "The Other."
More tracks followed, including 2015's "Reforget" and 2016's "Question," featuring Travis Mills. In 2017 Lauv headed his own Late Nights, Deep Talks tour and premiered the official video for "The Other," along with a series of remixes. Released in May of that year, Lauv's single "I Like Me Better" became a breakout international hit and was later featured on his self-titled second EP that October. The single was also included on his full-length debut, 2018's I Met You When I Was 18, which also featured the singles "Paranoid" and "Bracelet." Hit collaborations with Julia Michaels ("There's No Way") and Troye Sivan ("I'm So Tired...") carried him into 2019. Lauv's debut album "~how i'm feeling~" is set to be released in March 2020.

Lauv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't ever wanna stop this ride that we're on
I don't ever wanna say goodbye
'Cause then all of those nights
They would just be all for nothing
Third of October
We were never sober
But we fell in love somehow
First time that I met you
I didn't have a damn clue
That I love everything about you
Now I can't think of life without you
Ayy, did you know that you're my whole heart?
Ayy, did you know that I'll never stop, no
Giving you everything I got 'cause I'm so
I'm so in love, I'm so in love
I don't ever wanna stop this ride that we're on
I don't ever wanna say goodbye
'Cause then all of those nights
They would just be all for nothing
Yeah, I'm so in love, I'm so in love
I don't ever wanna stop this ride that we're on
I don't ever wanna say goodbye
'Cause then all of those nights
They would just be all for nothing, yeah
I'll never go back, I'll never go
Now that I know that, now that I know
I'll never leave you by your own
When you cry, baby, I'll be there, oh
Ayy, did you know that you're my whole heart?
Ayy, did you know that I'll never stop, no
Giving you everything I got 'cause I'm so
I'm so in love, I'm so in love
I don't ever wanna stop this ride that we're on
I don't ever wanna say goodbye
'Cause then all of those nights
They would just be all for nothing
Yeah, I'm so in love, I'm so in love
I don't ever wanna stop this ride that we're on
I don't ever wanna say goodbye
'Cause then all of those nights
They would just be all for nothing
Ayy, did you know that you're my whole heart?
Ayy, did you know that I'll never stop, no
Giving you everything I got 'cause I'm so
I'm so in love, I'm so in love
I don't ever wanna stop this ride that we're on
I don't ever wanna say goodbye
'Cause then all of those nights
They would just be all for nothing
Yeah, I'm so in love, I'm so in love
I don't ever wanna stop this ride that we're on
I don't ever wanna say goodbye
'Cause then all of those nights
They would just be all for nothing

The song All 4 Nothing by Lauv revolves around the idea of being deeply in love and not wanting to lose the person you love. The first verse speaks about being so in love that you never want to stop the ride that you are on and never wanting to say goodbye because all the memories that you shared with that person would be all for nothing. The chorus reinforces this thought, saying that the singer is so in love that they never want to stop this ride and never want to say goodbye because all the nights they spent together would be meaningless if they were to end. The second verse describes the journey of falling in love, how it began when they weren't sober, and gradually they fell in love without realizing it. It talks about how the singer didn't have a clue about their feelings at first, but now they can't think of life without their loved one.
The lyrics beautifully explore the idea of true love and how it makes you feel. It shows the depth of emotions and how they change everything about life. The idea of not wanting to say goodbye, so all the memories that you share never turn into nothingness, is something many people can relate to. The lyrics also showcase the importance of having someone by your side when you're going through tough times, and how love makes everything easier.

Third of October
A specific date that holds significance to the songwriter
We were never sober
Our time together was filled with fun and excitement, often involving drinking or partying
The first few times that we hung out
In the beginning of our relationship, we spent time together casually
But we fell in love somehow
Despite our initial casualness, we developed strong romantic feelings for each other
First time that I met you
The initial meeting between the songwriter and their lover
I didn't have a damn clue
At the time of our initial meeting, I had no idea that I would fall so deeply in love with you
That I love everything about you
Now, I love every single aspect of who you are
Now I can't think of life without you
My life considers you to be an irreplaceable and necessary part of it
Ayy, did you know that you're my whole heart?
You are an essential and irreplaceable part of my life
Giving you everything I got 'cause I'm so
I am so in love with you that I want to give you everything I have
I'll never go back, I'll never go
I do not want to revert to a time before we fell in love
Now that I know that, now that I know
Now that I have realized how much I love you, I never want to let you go
I'll never leave you by your own
I will always be there for you, no matter what
When you cry, baby, I'll be there, oh
I want to support you and be with you through both the happy times and the sad times
