Younger You Lyrics

Hey, you, it’s younger you
I’m just checking in to see
If you still remember me
Hey, you, it’s younger you
Do you still pray before bed?
Or are you worrying instead?
Somewhere along the way, we lost touch
We used to be so happy, just because
I know you had to go eventually
But don’t forget about me
Don’t forget about me
Hey, you, it’s younger you
I know you’re busy with your job
But don’t forget to call your mom
And dad too, he misses you
He may tell you that he’s fine
But you’re always on his mind
Somewhere along the way, we lost touch
We used to be so happy, just because
I know you had to go eventually
But don’t forget about me
Don’t forget about me, no
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Hey, you, it’s younger you
I know your story isn’t done
But do you love who you’ve become?
Hey, you, it’s younger you
When you’re standing on the stars
Just don’t forget who you are

Following a series of highly introspective releases this year, Philip La Rosa delivers a profoundly vulnerable cover of “Younger You,” originally performed by Miley Cyrus. The track, co-written by Cyrus alongside Michael Pollack, Jon Bellion, Gregory “Aldae” Hein, Stefan Johnson, and Jordan K. Johnson, moved Philip to tears upon his very first listen. As an artist who idolizes both Cyrus and Bellion, the connection was immediate, compelling him to record his own version.

Produced by Nic Rollo, the song showcases Philip’s exceptional vocal talent in its most stripped-back form. In a milestone moment for his career, the vocals were recorded entirely in his Fremantle home studio, marking the first time a release was captured in his own home. This deliberate choice created a space for complete vulnerability, allowing the track to be recorded with minimal takes and editing.

The raw and unpolished approach results in a listening experience that feels incredibly genuine, allowing the emotive delivery to take center stage. It serves as a beautiful addition to his current era of music, perfectly capturing the sentiment behind his own words: “Reflecting on where you’ve come from while dreaming about the direction you’re heading and can be so healing and rewarding”. “Younger You” stands as an authentic, emotional tribute to personal growth and the journey of the human experience.
