A constant mainstay on Irish airwaves and music charts since their debut in 2017, Wild Youth have now shared a remix by Paul Kennedy of their latest single 'Seventeen'.

The remix is taken from the bands upcoming new release of music and see’s the four-piece bring their signature hooky pop sound, that has brought them many hit singles including ‘Can’t Move On’, ‘Making me Dance’ and ‘Champagne Butterflies’.

Co-written by Conor O'Donohoe and JC Stewart, and produced By Tristen Evans (The Vamps), the original 'Seventeen' was the first single to be taken from Wild Youth’s upcoming EP.

Having taken time out with family & friends during the pandemic, Wild Youth spent time reflecting on the simplicity of their younger days and are back with the impressive single.

Two years ago, Wild Youth graced the cover of Hot Press’s ‘Hot For 2019’ special issue. Coinciding with the release of their debut EP, The Last Goodbye, it was their first cover story – capturing a band on the cusp of a major breakthrough. Childhood friends Conor O’Donohoe and David Whelan – the Dublin group’s primary songwriter and lead singer, respectively – were abuzz with energy, as they reminisced on a healthily wayward adolescence, which included ditching school to play music in Conor’s garden shed, or to go busking in town.

Since that interview, their high-energy, risk-taking approach to pop has rapidly catapulted the pair, alongside their bandmates Ed Porter and Callum McAdam, to heights even we couldn’t predict at the time – selling out the Olympia Theatre, supporting Westlife at Croke Park, playing a string of high-profile festival appearances, and clocking up Spotify streams in their millions.

Speaking to Hot Press last year, Conor expressed the band's determination to forge whatever sound they please.

“We always – maybe selfishly – make music that we want to make. We’re not afraid of having to stick in a certain lane, or do a certain thing because of what we’ve done previously. We’re always trying to push the boundaries a little bit, and not put a ceiling over our creativity. We just want to try and feel as free as we can, and make whatever we want – whatever we feel at the time.”
