About this song
"Youth" is the third single from Shawn Mendes' self-titled album and his first collaboration with Khalid. Shawn has said it is the most important song on the album to him.
What it's about
The song responds to a series of terrorist attacks in the UK in mid-2017, including the explosion at an Ariana Grande concert and the attack on London Bridge. It stands up against the fear those attacks left among young people and celebrates a sense of youth that cannot be taken away.
