"Some Die Young" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Laleh, taken as the lead single from her fourth studio album, Sjung.

The pop song was written and produced by Laleh, and comes after her appearance on Swedish reality television show Så mycket bättre.

The song has been credited as an unofficial soundtrack for those who lost people in the 2011 Norwegian attacks, with newspaper articles, university lectures and a number of fan videos to this effect emerging.

"Some Die Young" garnered positive reviews from music critics, with some describing it as a perfect segue from her success on Så mycket bättre.

[9] Peter Carlsson in Nerikes Allehanda noted that the song was "[refrained] like "Elephant" and "What You Want", but it is perhaps, above all, the high-quality smoothness that will impress in the long run".

[10] The initial music video for the song premiered on the Aftonbladet website and Lost Army's official YouTube channel on 26 January 2012.

[16] Its success saw it track at number one on the Norwegian Airplay Chart for more than five weeks, in addition to peaking at three on Swedish stations.

[17] Despite being released at the same time across Scandinavia, "Some Die Young" had its first chart placing in Denmark in May 2012, debuting at number thirty-eight.
