"It's Amazing To Be Young" arrived on February 21, 2025, and Fontaines D.C. built it as a proper group effort: all five members share the writing credit, with James Ellis Ford producing and mixing.

It's a wide-open, big-hearted thing. Grian Chatten strums an acoustic guitar and swaps vocals with Conor Deegan III, who also covers bass and piano, while Conor Curley and Carlos O'Connell stack their guitars and O'Connell adds keys. Tom Coll keeps the drums and percussion loose and rolling underneath, and Ford's mix lets the whole thing breathe instead of burying it in murk.
