Fontaines D.C. Know the Kids Are Alright on New Song ‘It’s Amazing to Be Young’


Irish outfit Fontaines D.C. have released their first new song of 2025, 'It's Amazing to Be Young.'

The track captures the confusion and frustration of youth, but also the euphoria and overwhelming sense of possibility it can instill, even in the face of a cruel world. The pair meet after the guy picks up a prescription for an extremely gnarly black eye, setting off a whirlwind romance that’s inevitably disrupted by — what else? Last year, Fontaines D.C. released their fourth studio album, Romance, which went on to earn two nominations at the 67th Grammy Awards: Best Rock Album and Best Alternative Music Performance for “Starburster.” The group have a bunch of tour dates slated for 2025, including a North American trek that kicks off April 17 in Seattle and wraps with a three-night stand at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City from May 16 through 18.
