I met you when I was 18. is the debut compilation album by singer/songwriter Lauv, originally released in 2018. Described by Lauv as a "playlist," the album debuted at number 50 on the US Billboard 200 and features the song "I Like Me Better."
"I met you when I was 18. is a collection of songs, a story. About moving to New York City when I was 18 and falling in love for the first time," Lauv shared in a press statement. "A story about trying to figure out your own identity whilst being deeply intertwined with someone else's.
It's a story that, since I released my first song 'The Other' in 2015, has been told a bit out of order. In pieces, in fragments & in moments reminisced, but now here it is, in it's entirety: I met you when I was 18. not an album, but a body of work nonetheless. I hope you enjoy." This collection of work is not just an album, it’s a masterpiece. The first song in the collection, “I Like Me Better” was on Billboard’s Hot 100, and has six Platinum certifications from countries around the world.
