A song about how great or sucky it is to be young. It is likely to be sung from one of two perspectives: 1. Someone past their youth reflecting on their youth but putting themselves back in that version of themselves, or 2. Someone still young, singing about it and/or not wanting to grow up. In either case, it may be a Coming of Age Story as the time sung about is usually important or symbolic. Common settings for the song are Everytown, America, the summer that the singer turns eighteen, a last hurrah Road/Field Trip, or saying goodbye to home. And... that's nearly always it, if a time or place is established. Other common features include drugs and alcohol, as well as other questionable activity because they're Young and Stupid. Whilst unlikely, it is still plausible that the song will be a fond goodbye to youth rather than the more common wanting to go back. It's also unlikely that the adolescence is going to be presented negatively, even if the tempo is slow, a minor key is used, or the lyrics imply hospitalisation —because what got them there will have been having a good time. In rare cases it may also be an Age-Progression Song if the song doesn't span very long but references youth further back. See also Best Years of Your Life and Glory Days. Basically, it's an ode... to youth. |

Inverted by Olivia Rodrigo's "brutal", which is about how she's sick of being a teenager, specifically because being a teenager sucks. The song (and indeed, the whole album) is about the heartache, personal problems, and insecurities she faced the year she was seventeen, and how she can't wait for the next part of her life to start. | |

Take That's "Never Forget", "...someday this'll all be someone else's dream" Surprisingly not "When We Were Young" until the last stanza "when we adored the fabulous, when we were young, we were the foolish fearless, we didn't know it wouldn't last, when we were young". |

Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69" is hugely popular, too: "Got my first real six-string, bought it at the five and dime, played it till my fingers bled, was the summer of '69... that summer seemed to last forever, oh they were the best days of my life". | |

BTS's "Epilogue: Young Forever" is about the impermanence of the beautiful moments they're going through as young artists and the acceptance that they can't last forever - but they can keep being young in spirit as long as they keep running towards a dream. | |
