"Young" is a song by Australian indie rock Vacations and included on their second EP Vibes (2016).
In mid-2020, TikTok users began playing the song, associating the track with Skins character Cassie.[1] In July 2020, frontman Campbell Burns said "We've seen that surge on our Spotify and other streaming sites. Our listeners have just skyrocketed and that song has just blown up more-so… It's overtaken 'Relax', which has been our longest standing song. It's actually kind of nice another song knocked that off. We're gaining all these new fans, and this newfound appreciation."[2]
The music video was released in December 2020.
The song was certified gold in the United States in March 2022, platinum in February 2023 and double platinum in May 2025.[3]
