"We Were Young" is a song by French DJ and music producer Petit Biscuit, featuring vocals from English singer-songwriter JP Cooper. It was released as a single on 29 May 2019 by Petit Biscuit Music.[1]

Background

In an interview with Billboard, Petit Biscuit said, "'We Were Young' is like a hymn to an innocent love, a beautiful love ... even a bit too beautiful to be true. We Were Young really is a big blend of my pop and electronic influences, even going to gospel on the choruses. Working together with JP on the different vocal parts of the track was a real pleasure. His particular tone brought a lot of freshness to my electronic production." JP Cooper said, "I was so excited to get in the studio with Mehdi. I'd heard some of his work and his sound I absolutely loved. Genuinely, I think this kid is a bit of a genius when it comes to electronic music. I wanted to make sure that I brought a little bit of my flavor to the track, and I think it fused beautifully. It was really interesting to try and write a classic-sounding chorus over such a modern-sounding track, and I'm super happy with how it turned out."[2]
