"Young Again" is a song by Australian singer songwriter Morgan Evans, released to Australian contemporary hit radio in May 2019 as the fourth single from his fourth EP Morgan Evans EP and second studio album Things That We Drink To. On the single, Morgan said "'Young Again' is a special one because I feel like it's definitely one of those songs that I just want to play over and over at the live show and I finish the show every night with it but it's also that feeling that I try to wake up every day and live in the moment and take the opportunity for the life that you have right in front of you." He added "The line is we will never be this young again and it's so true. It's as true when I wrote the song on a mandolin and it's as true when I sing it to a festival crowd in the UK or a festival crowd in Oklahoma or whether I'm just listening to it as I drive around and making sure the mixes are right."[1]
