Rather than indulging in nostalgia, the song carries the message that it’s precisely because we have a past that we’re able to move forward.
Some people may feel a little lonely when they look back on their youth after becoming adults, but I hope you’ll listen to this song and feel, “From here on out is youth, too.” Becoming an adult should open the door to new kinds of challenges you couldn’t take on before.

The message, “Don’t worry about that! You are who you are!” is sure to resonate deeply with young people coming of age.
