About this song
Ahmad Lewis wrote the track when he was 18. It became his one-hit wonder.
What it's about
The song is about wishing life could be as simple as it was when he was younger, with no responsibilities, fears or worries. He feels overwhelmed by adulthood and does not want to deal with the consequences of growing up.
