“I'm so happy to present this video because it feels very true to the song and to who I am. It was inspired by a painting called ‘The Dance Of Life’ by one of my favorite artists, Edvard Munch. It’s an illustration of three women—one in white, one in red and one in black—and tells a story about three stages of human life: youth, maturity, and old age. I was always drawn to this image as a kid due to its simple symbolism and emotion and have been dying to do a video that could reflect on it. Since ‘When I Was Young’ is all about nostalgia and reflecting on life—especially the past, but also the now and the future—it just seemed like the perfect time to do it.” - MØ

When the sky was gold
and I needed no protection
as the wind would blow
a 1000 miles in no direction
man it was a beautiful sight
days were soaked in sunlight
just so long ago
but lately I like to imagine
When I was young
whatever happened it would do me no wrong
as long as I could sing my favorite song
when I was young, oh
and the holidays went on and on
we were so high
let the freeway take us into the night
and in the dark you sang my favorite song
When I was young, oh
and the holidays went on and on and on and on and on
when I was young
Now the sky is grey
but honestly it doesn't hurt me
I learned to find my way
on the path of no returning
Everything I've left behind
I'm reminded every time I meet ur eyes
we were so bold and brave
baby can you imagine
When I was young
whatever happened it could do me no wrong
as long as I could sing my favorite song
when I was young, oh
and the holidays went on and on and on
we were so high
let the freeway take us into the night
and in the dark you sang my favorite song
When I was young, oh
and the holidays went on and on and on and on and on
When I was young
When I was young
we would play with fire
When I was young
and we would fuck the price
when I was young
It was do or die I would give my life just to feel like
When I was young
And the holidays went on and on and on and on and on
When I was young
