Young Dumb & Broke

## Music video

"**Young Dumb & Broke**" is a song by Khalid, released as a single for his debut studio album, *American Teen*.

## Background

As revealed on *Genius*, Khalid explained, "We created the beat from scratch, me and Joel Little. I just wanted something not necessarily positive, but super upbeat. Hearing the chords, "I was like this sounds anthemic." And I was like, "You know what. I'm young, I'm dumb, and I'm broke. I've been young, I've been dumb, and I've been broke." That's pretty much where the basis of the song came from. I feel like the whole project is all about me being honest. And I felt like, you can't get more honest than calling yourself young, dumb, and broke."

## Music video

The official music video was posted to YouTube on August 1, 2017, filmed in a high school. It included cameos of celebrities, including Dennis Haskins, Rachael Leigh Cook, Normani Kordei, and Wayne Brady.

## Trivia

* Elton John covered Khalid's song, a recent version including vocals from Khalid himself.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
**[Verse 1]**

So you're still thinking of me

Just like I know you should

I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could

I'm so high at the moment

I'm so caught up in this

Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke

But we still got love to give

**[Chorus]**

While we're young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb

Young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb broke high school kids

Yadadadadadadada

Yadadadadadada

Yadadadadadadada

Young dumb broke high school kids

**[Verse 2]**

We have so much in common

We argue all the time

You always say I'm wrong

I'm pretty sure I'm right

What's fun about commitment?

When we have our life to live

Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke

But we still got love to give

**[Chorus]**

While we're young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb broke high school kids

Yadadadadadadada

Yadadadadadada

Yadadadadadadada

Young dumb broke high school kids

**[Bridge]**

Jump and we think - do it all in the name of love

Love

Run into sin, do it all in the name of fun

Fun

Whoa-oa-oa

I'm so high at the moment

I'm so caught up in this

Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke

But we still got love to give

**[Chorus]**

While we're young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb

Young dumb

Young, young dumb and broke

Young dumb broke high school kids

Yadadadadadadada

Yadadadadadada

Yadadadadadadada

Young dumb broke high school kids
