"Youth" comes from How to Be a Human Being, the second Glass Animals album, released in August 2016 after a road stretch of more than 140 shows in support of their debut, Zaba. Dave Bayley wrote it on his own, and like each of the album's eleven songs it stands for one of the characters pictured on the front cover and what they've lived through. Matt Wiggins engineered and mixed it, with Riley MacIntyre and Marta Salogni assisting.
Harvest put the album out in the US, with Wolf Tone and Caroline International handling Europe, and the record went on to a Mercury Prize nomination in 2017.
