"Youth" is the debut solo single by English singer and songwriter Foxes.

Initially released as a 7" single through Neon Gold on 16 January 2012,[2] the song was later re-released digitally in the United States on 20 August 2013 and sent to top 40 radio in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2013 as the lead single from her debut studio album Glorious (2014).

[3] The video starts with her in an office, before she breaks free from the grey work environment after a fire burns a hole in the wall.

We say new, but for the singer – real name Louisa Rose Allen – and serious pop fans, the song's journey from its birth to major label release has been a slow and often painful one, after she delayed its release and spent the intervening months guesting on songs for Rudimental and Zedd.

"Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun" she sings over galloping beats and mournful electro throbs that build to a glorious strobing finale that acts as a fitting end to the summer months.
