Background

Young began working on the album in May 2022, with "Looking for You". [1] Describing the album Young says that he felt like the album needed to be for him, and "It's a little louder, a little more raw. Even the stripped-down songs are heavier." [2]

Composition

Young co-wrote all but three of the album's eighteen tracks. The album's lead single "Looking for You" was written by Young, James McNair, Emily Weisband, and Chris DeStefano with production done by DeStefano. McNair and Weisband who came up with the title of the song, began working on the it before Young and DeStefano got to it. The verses of the song mainly rely on an I-IV chord pattern, although DeStefano suggested adding an iv chord at the end of the song's title. The song was almost complete when DeStefano started working on the track. [1] The title track, "Young Love & Saturday Nights", written by Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure and Josh Thompson, was directly inspired by the guitar riff of David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel", and gave Bowie posthumous credit. [2]

Singles

"Looking for You" was released as the lead single on January 12, 2023.

The tile track was released as the second single on October 2, 2023.
