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.
Turn It Up
Young Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One of those days you only get on the West Coast
I tipped my hat as I walked past the preacher
Said there's no saving me tonight
It's a bet, it's a promise between brothers
And tonight we're gonna ride
Didn't tell anyone which way we go
It was classic punk on the radio
From the back seat I heard, "Turn it up"
We sang
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Spending time like we were free again
Moving quickly without consequence
The ground will remember it's been covered
It's money's yours and we can always get more
Wall out with the top down
Didn't tell anyone which way we go
It was classic punk on the radio
From the back seat I heard, "Turn it up"
We sang
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Today I woke up in a small town
One of those days you only get on the West Coast
We sang
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
