"**Too Young to Remember**" is a song performed by British singer, drummer, and songwriter Florrie. It was released on March 6, 2015 on iTunes through Sony Music. The song was written by Florrie, Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Toby Scott, Paul Harris, Wayne Hector and Uzoechi Emenike, aka MNEK. The song was intended to be included in Florrie's debut album; however, the album was ultimately shelved and the song remained as a standalone single.

## Background and release

On August 15, 2014, Florrie released her single "Little White Lies" as a follow-up to her fourth extended play, *Sirens*, which was released back in April 2014. However, on January 2, 2015, it was announced that the singer would release a new single in March 6. The song was released through iTunes along with a remix bundle of three remixes of the song, one of which was produced by Florrie herself.

## Composition

"Too Young to Remember" runs at a moderate tempo of 98 beats per minute, set at a common 4/4 time signature, and lasts for three minutes and fifty one seconds. Musically, the song is based on acoustic guitar, heavy drums, hand claps, and piano chords, a somewhat similar structure to that of the song "Turn the World Upside Down". Lyrically, the song reminisces different elements of the 1990s decade, with elements like Batman movies, Super Mario, songs by Madonna, between other stuff.

## Lyrics

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

Rewind and let's go back tonight, back to 1991

Batman and Super Mario,

Nevermind playing all night long

Mm-mm, you're unbelievable

But you justify my love

Berlin is dancing on the wall

As the sun comes up, hey

Time has gone and my love is trouble

Get me more, yeah, you're now my trouble

Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay

I gotta be the situation, but I find a way to fire

Never giving up, I'm taking it higher

Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

Rewind and let's go back again, back to 1989

Black Box playing on the stereo

Like a prayer, we ride on time

Big hair is my prerogative

If you don't know me by now

I can't take much more Karate Kid

I'mma show you how

Time has gone and my love is trouble

Get me more, yeah, you're now my trouble

Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay

I gotta be the situation, but I find a way to fire

Never giving up, I'm taking it higher

Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

Maybe if I took another chance I could live forever like this

Maybe I could dance all night to forget what I shouldn't have missed

I don't wanna hear about the girl with the halo doing no wrong

I could live my life like that, but I know that I wouldn't last long

Feeling too young to run, feeling to young to care about what happens

Too young to run, and I won't throw it all away

All I want is some fun, it don't mean I don't care about what matters

Tell me I'm wrong cause only one thing I gotta say

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

I'm too young to remember

I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey

Too young to remember

Too young to remember
