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.

I can't wait no more
Your fingers through my hair, that's on my mind
I know it's been a minute since you walked right through that door
But I still think about you all the time
I don't know, I don't know
How I'm gonna make it out
Now you got me sayin'
Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as
Fuck, come hold me, come hold me, come hold me
It's been me, myself, and why did you go, did you go?
Oh, fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, lonely, I
Yeah, I still watch the shows you showed me
I still drink that wine
But these days it tastes more bitter than sweet, hm
And all my friends are way too drunk to save me from my phone
So sorry if I say some things I mean
(Like) I don't know, I don't know
How I'm gonna make it out
I don't know, I don't know
Now you got me sayin'
Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as
Fuck, come hold me, come hold me, come hold me
It's been me, myself, and why did you go, did you go?
Oh, fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, lonely, I
Miss those nights when you would come over
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over
I miss those nights when you would come over
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over you
Oh, get over you
Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as
Fuck, come hold me, come hold me, come hold me
It's been me, myself, and why did you go, did you go?
Oh, fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, lonely, I
I miss those nights when you would come over (yeah)
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over
I miss those nights when you would come over
Spent all night just tryna get closer
That was June and now it's October
I don't want, don't wanna get over you
Mm, mm
