About this song
"When I Grow Up" is the third single from NF's 2019 album The Search. The music video was released alongside the track and shows NF playing several ordinary jobs, including a janitor, a trashman and a fast food worker, before ending with him pursuing his career as a rapper.
What it's about
The song recalls NF's choice to become a rapper as a kid instead of going to college or taking a nine-to-five job. He also talks about the doubters he faced growing up and how their skepticism motivated him as an artist.
