About
Daemon (vocalist) comments on the meaning behind the track, “'the single is a backlash to those who judge the intelligence, character or general merit about anyone due to their age, inspired by personal experience and real emotion as all my lyrics are! It’s a conviction to staying young forever. A lot of people consider growing up to be increasing intelligence and maturity, but in many cases, I think the opposite is true. People’s egos claim they have “grown-up,” whereas really they have lost their inner child, their fearlessness, and their creative spirit. Many people get soft with age, and instead, elect to judge younger people for still living and cherishing their wild side.'”

Music Video
A music video was released on the label's YouTube channel, gaining over 45 thousand views in just two weeks.

Grey explains about the video, “'I really wanted the video itself to reflect the passion of the song, which is really anger or even disdain to anyone that judges people just because they are younger. The video I think really depicts exactly what we were going for… an aggressive backlash to unneeded judgment paired with deep confidence in yourself. It was also fun as hell to smash a Jesus saves sign over my knee! I wanted to show young spirits living their truth with no regard for what anyone else thinks, mixed with some healthy teenage angst. Ultimately, youth and age have no correlation. Our spirits and our mind stay young as long as we choose. So I think the video celebrates that truth, with a healthy fuck you to anyone that has a problem with it.'”
