In September, two short promotional videos were released for the single "Discotech". In October, a full video featuring live footage was released for the single, and on November 21, 2006, the Young Love EP was released on iTunes, and featured "Discotech" a new song, "Tragedy" and two remixes. In December, Young Love played several shows with British MC Lady Sovereign.
In early January 2007, Billboard listed Young Love as one of "2007's Best Bets" for the year, and described their album as "...the kind of pop that we've been missing: melodic, catchy, smart and as young and in love-with the ubiquitous 'she'-as Romeo...". On January 3, 2007, MTV premiered the video for the band's newest single, "Find A New Way". In addition, the single will serve as the theme song for the network's new Jennifer Lopez-produced reality series, DanceLife, which premiered January 15, 2007.
January 30, 2007 was the official release of Young Love's full-length debut, Too Young to Fight It. The album includes both "Discotech" and "Tragedy" along with nine more original songs. In February, the band will start a tour, playing shows with several different acts including Foreign Islands, Morors Eros, and Federalist.
Their sophomore album titled "One of Us" is due out on April 28th, 2009.
Get Me Up
Young Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dirty clothes on the floor, last night's thrills
To look at her is like staring at the sun
Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
Get me up, get me up, get me up
Stayed up all night and missed my flight
It's not the first time so it's alright, get me up
Won't be the last time 'cause I'm not done
Here I come, here I come, here I come
I already told you
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
You gotta get me up, get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
It's what we do and it's all we know
Light the fuse and watch it blow
To look at her is like staring at the sun
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey, get me up
You gotta get me up, g-get me up
You gotta get me up, hey
Hey, girl in the back, in the back, in the back
Hey, girl in the back, hey, hey
Hey, girl, hey girl in the back, in the back, in the back
Hey, girl in the back, hey, hey, hey girl
The song "Get Me Up" by Young Love talks about the thrill and excitement of falling for someone, and the desire to be with them despite the consequences. The first verse sets the scene in the morning after a wild night, with dirty clothes on the floor as evidence of what had happened the night before. The singer can't help but look at the person they're infatuated with, comparing their gaze to staring at the sun. They're aware of the risks of their actions, but the feeling is too strong to resist.
The chorus serves as the main plea to their partner to help them get up and stay motivated. The singer has missed a flight due to staying up all night, but is not too worried since they know it won't be the last time they get carried away. The lines "It's what we do and it's all we know, Light the fuse and watch it blow" suggests that they're aware of their habits and the consequences of their actions, yet they still can't resist living life to the fullest. The line "She's the one, she's the one, she's the one" confirms the deep feelings the singer has for their partner, and emphasizes that their love is worth the risk.
The bridge of the song addresses an unknown presence, possibly another girl in the vicinity, that is being addressed and called out by the singer. This added layer of mystery and intrigue adds to the electric and unpredictable energy of the track.
Overall, "Get Me Up" is a catchy and upbeat song that captures the thrill of living in the moment and the excitement of risking everything for love.

@stuporstar they are not that similar. Ali Love is definitely way more edgy than young love. and with that, they appeal to different crowds because they have an over all different sound
