Doja Cat offered some contributions to British pop singer Anne-Marie’s new song, “To Be Young,” which explores all the ups and downs of growing up.
Evoking all-too-familiar carefree chaos, “To Be Young” paints a vivid picture of reckless youth. “Fall in love, broken heart/Break the rules, drink too much,” Anne-Marie sings on the chorus. “We’re all a mess, but I guess/This is what it feels like to be young.”
While Doja’s verse is brief, she echoes this same theme of teenage restlessness. “This can’t be real life, don’t even feel high/Maybe if you take one with me then it will feel right,” she sings. “Don’t wanna know what staying still would even feel like.”

[Verse 1: Anne-Marie]
You tell me I should make a plan for a life
What I’m thinkin’ ’bout is what to do tonight
Hundred miles an hour, no headlights
On an open road home
We do what we can to dull the pain
Pinky promise things to stay the same
Even when I’m old, I’ll know your name
Anywhere we go, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie]
Dye my hair a million colours
Dream I’ll make a billion dollars
I swear that they can’t come soon enough
In the meantime, we just
[Chorus: Anne-Marie]
Fall in love, broken heart
Break the rules, drink too much
We’re all a mess, but I guess
This is what it feels like to be young (To be young)
Take a punch (Take a punch), get back up (Get back up)
Act a fool (Act a fool), give a fuck (Give a fuck)
We’re all a mess (All a mess), but I guess
This is what it feels like to be young
[Verse 2: Anne-Marie]
Small town and we drinkin’ all the liquor (Yeah)
Every night tryna feel something bigger (Feel something bigger)
Hotbox in the car in the winter
We don’t wanna go home
[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie]
And I’ll dye my hair a million colours
Dream I’ll make a billion dollars
I swear that they can’t come soon enough
In the meantime, we just
[Chorus: Anne-Marie]
Fall in love (Fall in love), broken heart (Broken heart)
Break the rules (Break the rules), drink too much (Drink too much)
We’re all a mess (All a mess), but I guess
This is what it feels like to be young (To be young)
Take a punch (Take a punch), get back up (Get back up)
Act a fool (Act a fool), give a fuck (Give a fuck)
We’re all a mess (All a mess), but I guess
This is what it feels like to be young
[Verse 3: Doja Cat]
This can’t be real life, don’t even feel high
Maybe if you take one with me then it will feel right
Don’t wanna know what stay still would even feel like
Wanted to fit in when I didn’t, I would know
And I just want freedom, can’t be lonely
Heart that’s hopeful, stupid from me
Say they love me but won’t show me
Is this how it feels like to be young?
[Chorus: Doja Cat, Anne-Marie and Both]
Fall in love, broken heart
Break the rules (Young), drink too much (Young)
We’re all a mess (Young), but I guess
This is what it feels like to be young
Take a punch (Take a punch), get back up (Get back up)
Act a fool (Act a fool), give a fuck (Give a fuck)
We’re all a mess (All a mess), but I guess
This is what it feels like to be young
[Outro: Anne-Marie]
Yeah-oh-oh-oh, yeah-oh-oh-oh
This is what it feels like to be young, young
This is what it feels like to be young
