Young Heart is the fourth studio album by English singer-songwriter Birdy, released on 30 April 2021 by Atlantic Records.

[1] While reaching the end of the tour for her 2016 album Beautiful Lies, she admits to feeling that she was "acting a little bit" and instead wanted to capture the more quiet and gentle aspects of how she normally writes and sings songs alone.

[3][4] In the period between Beautiful Lies and Young Heart, Birdy credits "writer's block" and the need for "some time to live a bit" as reasons why it took four years to finish the album.

[5] Before writing for the album began, Birdy suffered from a breakup and looked to the music of Etta James and Nina Simone for emotional support.

It was delayed as a result of the pandemic but this allowed greater time for Birdy to reflect on the album and make small changes accordingly.

[18] In contrast, a 7/10 review for The Line of Best Fit called it a "coherent addition to an already charming catalogue from Birdy" that is "consistent from start to finish".
