In April 2016, he released the track "Out of My System." It became a viral hit, and 10 months later had been streamed 20 million times on Spotify, a total that later rose to over 37 million. Following its success he went out on a world tour, which included a 27 February 2017, show at the O2 ABC. While on tour, he collaborated on remixes with artists in South America and India.
A second viral hit came with his bootleg of The Temper Trap’s "Sweet Disposition", which was viewed over 15 million times in its first two weeks.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another day of wasting my time
My head hurts when I get my homework
I know that something ain't right
Teacher, teacher, don't teach me things
That don't mean a thing to my life
'Cause today's not the day for putting me in line, no
You don't, you don't know me
Stop telling me I'm nothing but a dreamer
I'm a million miles away as I draw
Monsters from Mars with familiar faces
Lines on a page 'cause I'm just a daydreamer
And it'll all be over soon, over soon, over
And we can all go home
9 o'clock, I'm running out of luck
Wish I was waking up in my bed
Old man talking, I'm barely conscious
Didn't hear a word that he said
In one ear and out the other
Thoughts never touching the sides of my head
Today's not the day for learning anything, no
Stop telling me what I gotta live for
You don't, you don't know me
Stop telling me I'm nothing but a dreamer
I'm a million miles away as I draw
Monsters from Mars with familiar faces
Lines on a page 'cause I'm just a daydreamer
And it'll all be over soon, over soon, over
And we can all go home
And we can all go home
So please don't think that you're right
Just because I'm hurting your pride
I'm on the edge of my seat
My backside is begging me to leave
I got dreams of my own
I know things that you could never know
I'm a billion miles away as I draw
Monsters from Mars with familiar faces
Lines on a page 'cause I'm just a daydreamer
And it'll all be over soon, over soon, over
And we can all go home, yeah
And we can all go home, yeah
And we can all go home
I'm a million miles away, I'm a million miles away
And we can all go home
The song 'Monsters' by YoungR is about the frustration of being a student who feels unfulfilled in class and uninterested in learning the things that are being taught. The lyrics express the feelings of being trapped and feeling like you are wasting your time. The title 'Monsters' is symbolic of the things that are preventing the student from being happy, the mundane routines of school life that feel like they are sucking the life out of them. The lines "Monsters from Mars with familiar faces" indicate that even something as otherworldly as monsters cannot possibly be as alienating as the feeling of being stuck in a situation you cannot control. YoungR wants to escape to a place that is safe and where they can create art, hence the line "Lines on a page 'cause I'm just a daydreamer."
The lyrics of the song also express a deep desire to break free from the expectations of teachers and authority figures. The chorus says "Stop telling me what I gotta live for, You don't, you don't know me" which implies that the person singing the song feels like they are being boxed into a predetermined mold by others around them. The song acts as a release from these restrictions and a call to embrace individuality and live according to one's true passions.
Line by Line Meaning
School bell rings, I unpack my things
I'm heading to another day of school
Another day of wasting my time
I feel like school is pointless
My head hurts when I get my homework
Schoolwork stresses me out
I know that something ain't right
I'm aware that something about school doesn't feel quite right
Teacher, teacher, don't teach me things
That don't mean a thing to my life
I don't want to learn things that don't have practical application
'Cause today's not the day for putting me in line, no
I don't want to feel like I'm being ordered around today
Stop telling me what I gotta live for
You don't, you don't know me
I don't appreciate people telling me how to live my life when they don't know me well enough
Stop telling me I'm nothing but a dreamer
I'm tired of people dismissing me as just a dreamer
I'm a million miles away as I draw
Art allows me to escape my frustrations of school and the world
Monsters from Mars with familiar faces
The things I draw often represent my feelings of alienation and disconnection from reality
Lines on a page 'cause I'm just a daydreamer
My drawings reflect my tendency to daydream instead of paying attention in class
And it'll all be over soon, over soon, over
And we can all go home
I'm counting down the minutes until school is over and I can leave
9 o'clock, I'm running out of luck
Wish I was waking up in my bed
It's early in the morning and I wish I could just go back to sleep
Old man talking, I'm barely conscious
Didn't hear a word that he said
I'm not paying attention to what's going on around me
In one ear and out the other
Thoughts never touching the sides of my head
I'm not retaining any information from school
Today's not the day for learning anything, no
I'm not in the mood to learn today
So please don't think that you're right
Just because I'm hurting your pride
Don't assume you know everything just because it hurts your ego that I don't agree with you
I'm on the edge of my seat
My backside is begging me to leave
I'm physically uncomfortable and want to leave school
I got dreams of my own
I know things that you could never know
I have my own aspirations and unique knowledge an experience that make me who I am
I'm a billion miles away as I draw
Drawing allows me to escape reality and enter a space where I can be creative and free
And we can all go home, yeah
And we can all go home
I can't wait until school ends and I can go home
I'm a million miles away, I'm a million miles away
Again, I'm far removed from the present moment and daydreaming
And we can all go home
I'm looking forward to being done with school for the day
