Ari you have no idea how much we love you and appreciate you and support you in whatever you're going through. Your music and who you are as a person mean the world to us. Thanks for sharing what was on your mind. We lauv u forever ❤️

Had no idea you struggled with your sexuality. Be who you want and love who you want. We appreciate the honesty and openness. We need more celebrities doing that! I’m excited for your album!

Always here to support you. Being bi was something I had to come to terms with as a twenty something year old who dated exclusively men and it was a journey lemmmeeee tell you - always supporting you in however you discover yourself❤

really proud of you for sharing this with us and so glad you are being open!! love you so much Ari and I’m so excited for your new music. been here since never not and will be here for many more years to come💙💙

I don't care about your sexual preferences. Love is love. Your music is a big part of my life and I will always love u. ❤

Your music helped me process so many things which I am forever grateful for. I m so excited to hear you are dropping new songs :) Its very cool that you are sharing about your mental health, and helping to shift the perspective that you have to keep that stuff to yourself to being able to speak up about it and not getting judged for it. I too struggle with ocd and it inspires me to see you work so hard externally and internally. All the best

We're always here to support you Ari,I love that you are so open with us. In regards to your sexuality, it's alright to be unsure and explore, remember: you don't have to label yourself and it's alright to change your mind later,and don't feel pressured to come out :) I can't wait for the album, Much love♥️

Ari I came out last month also, I feel so much better and I'm glad you feel comfortable sharing this with us ❤ We love you! Thanks for coming to Boston your show was amazing.

(Please notice this Lauv 🥺) Lauv i want to share my story and why your concert here in KL would’ve meant the absolute world to me: I have been your fan from the year you released “I Like Me Better”. I fell in love with that song. It spoke to me. Im a child of divorce and i was always afraid i wouldn’t meet the loml in this lifetime. My biggest fear was ending up like my parents. Your song sparked a different perception. I have been in two relationships before i met Him, my current boyfriend. He made me feel like “I Like Me Better”, every word every phrase. I felt it with Him. We met online in February 2020, he is from Australia and im from Malaysia. We had this big dream to fly and meet each other. However, it didn’t quite work out in our favour. We broke up 2 weeks in, realizing the distance was hard. Soon after, the pandemic hit the world. We both were in a dark spot in our lives, i had issues at home and he just got laid off work due to the Pandemic. He texted me and told me the only person he could think of was me and weirdly, i felt the same. How can a human i’ve never met be so glued in my mind. We decided to give it a second chance. Unfortunately for us, the borders were shut and we couldn’t see each other for almost 2 and a half years. We tried our best to stay connected. Then, one day he asked me, “what should our song be?” And without hesitation i said “I Like Me Better”. I knew it was risky because it was my favourite song and i hold it near and dear to my heart. I could potentially never be able to hear the song without shedding a tear if god forbid anything happened between us. But no, i was determine He was I Like Me Better. We met for the first time in August 2022, i flew to Australia. It was the best days of my life after 2 and a half years, i got to hold his hands down the street, go on dates and tell stories while we stare into each other’s eyes and not the phone or a screen. He was going to come here in two weeks time, August 2023. We were over the moon when we heard you were going to perform here, it felt like a sign, something the universe wanted to tell us. What a coincidence that you would be performing the month he was here, we had to go. It would mean the world to us. As of today we have been together for 3 Years 5 Months and 15 days, he is my longest relationship yet & he makes me the happiest girl alive. My heart sank today when i got a text from my brother saying it had been cancelled. Im sure you have a reason and i will respect it. I want to share my story here and why it meant the world to me. I am devastated I won’t be able to see you perform, i wish you all the best and i hope one day i will be able to stand in the crowds of your concert with Him singing to our song, the song your Ari articulate so beautifully, I Like Me Better. With love, Irina 🤍

I’m right there with you! I had to face a few things in my 20s but now in my 30s, it all hit me hard and I finally had no choice but to confront myself and just start being open about exploration and honoring my identity. It’s a work in progress, but believe me, nobody had any negative things to say. That’s a great sign because I don’t want closed minded people in my life anyway! When I started songwriting and producing again with these topics, I felt really liberated. I’m rooting for you and I know you’ve got this! Keep growing, learning and standing in your truth! ❤🎉

You're one of the very first artists I listened to when I started getting into music as a then 12 year old. This video felt so comforting and chill, thanks for being sincere, I appreciate it. Please do make more similar videos, that would be awesome !! Also looking forward to the upcoming album, take your time 💗

I am very happy for you and proud of you. Thank you for being so sincere. This new chapter seems very exciting and I can't wait for it to start

Your music helped me so much, and with so much, including my mental health and sexuality 💜 proud of you regardless. Sexuality is so fluid and there is no need to label yourself. We love you no matter what 💜

We love and support you ❤ i grew up with your music and i'm really thankful for everything you've done for us, we're rooting for you no matter what!!

You have no idea how proud we are of you and everything you do. Your music was the soundtrack to my first ever love with another guy. You've held a special place in my heart and helped me process through a lot about who I was & I'm so excited that we get to do that for you now. Much love!💙💙💙

Excited for new music and for you for exploring and finding yourself! Thanks for sharing! If you ever come to Finland I PROMISE I'll be in the front row singing every word back to you! 🫶🏻

You’ll figure it all out, don’t stress about it too much. What feels good and natural is what you should pursue. There’s no need for you to suppress anything ❤

Words could not describe how much you saved me. Went to your concert in Cebu and I came out crying from all the happiness and how it is unbelievable to see you perform live!! You’re an amazing person and I will be here for everything. Whatever it might be. I love you, Ari!!!!

I will always love and support you 100 percent and am not going anywhere. Cannot wait to hear this next album. Take care of yourself ❤❤😊😊

Every successful person comes to that question. They ask themselves why are they doing this job. And this question takes them back to the beginning of it. For you, it is why are you doing music. I can give you an example. The tennis player Djokovic almost quit tennis around 2010s. He loses too much and started to hate it, and he asked his coach if he should quit or not. His coach asked why are you started tennis. Then, Djokovic legend was born. What I want to say is that if you come to the part of your life where you question yourself, your music, your gender decision, it’s good. It’s maybe the best thing that can happen to anyone. With this, you can finally remove the obstacles on your way. Love your music ❤ peace ✌🏻

I love you Ari. Thank you for being so open and honest about yourself. I'm so happy and proud of you. I'll be here supporting you regardless. I love you and I love your music and I can't wait for the new stuff. ❤

I will support you always my friend. You made me feel understood when I had none that made me feel understood as you did, your music is powerful, meaningful, beautiful, make people feel less alone, welcoming. I clap for you, I support you in your healing journey, I’m proud of you facing your fears everyday, getting better, I’m very proud of you and I can’t wait to listen your next album. If none told you, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE, YOUR MESSINESS, YOUR IMPERFECTION, YOUR SONGS, YOUR VOICE, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NO MAYTER WHAT YOU LIKE, AS GIRLS AS BOYS, LOVE IS LOVE, THAT DOESN’t DISMISS THE FACT THAT YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE. And SAY IT LOUDER: DON’t SAY SORRY FOR BEING YOU MY FRIEND

I’ve always been a fan of your talent , you’re incredible 🥰 and a huge inspiration in my own music . Appreciate you , you got this icon 🎉

I rarely comments on someone’s UKposts but I want to say I love you Ari, Lauv! Though I can’t imagine my life without music, I’m not kind of a person who really into artists but you changed me! We’ll all here to support you, Ari❤ I can’t wait to see you both in Tokyo, summer sonic and Cebu!!!!

Kudos to you!!! We all love you 💖

I ran into you near Venice Beach on Abbot Kinney Blvd five years ago. You were so sweet and kind. Thank you for your music and thank you for being you. Such a beautiful soul.

So happy for you and excited to hear what's coming next. Wherever you land on your sexuality it really shouldn't be a cause for anything but celebration. I'm a 61 year old gay English man and I've always said if anyone has a problem with my sexuality, it's their problem, and won't allow them to make it mine. I am so grateful to you for sharing your awesome talent. All 4 Nothing is my favourite album by anyone in a very long time, and the most played in my huge collection.It's my go to album to make me want to dance and sign out loud. I look forward to the next album and have my £££s ready for purchasing the HiRes audio version.

Thank you for being open and honest Ari

Hey just be you and be happy!!! The ones who love you and support you will always be there and that is all that matters. Can't wait to hear the new music!!❤

So happy for you Ari ❤🎉

Absolutely love this❤

Sending you so much love and can't wait to enjoy your new album ❤

※My English might be wrong, I’m a Japanese speaker.. Whatever happens, I love you Ari all the time❤ Thank you for being open and I respect your attitude. I really look forward to your new album and live in Japan soon! You’re loved and amazing!

Life is too short to not be happy and true to yourself. Much love to you. Looking forward to hearing your new music. Oh, and I think your hair looks great too 😊

Thank you for all the things you shared with us. Keep going on working on your mental health, it is so much important. You have a value and each person needs to find it. See you very soon in October in Paris ❤
