Ali Tennant wrote the lyrics for "Young" with STL, a production duo comprising Pete Ibsen and Fazer. Tulisa heard both Fazer and Isben and wanted to record the song herself and said They didn't even get a chance to pitch it to the [other singer], they were preparing it, it wasn't even finished and I was like, 'I'm having that song, give it to me'." Tulisa wanted it to sound like a song that would be played in Ibiza and at summer festivals with young people jumping and singing along to its hook. It became Tulisa's first and only number one single.
