"Young" arrived with Lotus, the sixth studio album English rapper Little Simz released through AWAL on 6 June 2025, and it catches her working in new company. Lotus marked her move away from Inflo, the longtime collaborator who had produced and co-written her previous three albums, and on this track the load falls on Miles James: he produced and recorded it, co-wrote it, plays both the bass and the drums, and sings backing vocals behind her lead. Ben Baptie mixed it.
The album around it is hip-hop shot through with jazz, punk and funk, and a lean setup like this one, one voice up front and one multi-instrumentalist behind her, suits that restless streak.
