Sivan said "'Youth' is a song about the joy in naivety and being lost. It's about dropping everything, running away, making mistakes, and loving too hard, and how that's okay. "[5]

The video was directed and produced by Scheme Engine and filmed in both Los Angeles and Seattle.[6] Sivan filmed a music video for "Youth" in early February 2016.
