Little Simz’s ‘Young’ Turns Recklessness Into Art
Little Simz is back with “Young,” the latest single from her upcoming album Lotus (dropping June 6). The track’s a shift from her usual introspection — instead, it’s a raw, punk-infused banger that sounds like she’s yelling over the chaos of youth itself. Produced by Miles Clinton James, it’s a bold reminder Simz never sticks to one lane.
Screaming Youth, Spitting Fire
The beat bangs with fast drums, a gritty bassline, and a sneering energy that’s punk-rock in spirit but keeps her rap roots intact. Simz’s flow is sharp, sarcastic, and full of attitude — perfectly capturing that rush of reckless freedom and frustration when you’re young and don’t care. The chorus sticks in your head like a shout you never wanted to forget.
A Video That Matches the Madness
The “Young” video, directed by Dave Meyers, goes full cinematic with surreal visuals and a bold, prosthetic-enhanced Simz who looks like she’s channeling her younger self’s wild spirit. It’s a mix of gritty street vibes and high-concept artistry — a perfect visual extension of the song’s raw energy.
