Listen to "Kids These Days" on your favorite platform here. The song, co-written by Stone with songwriter and producer Ben Goldsmith and fellow songstress Emily Reid, embraces the idea of living out your twenties with a mindset of discovering your true self through reflection and the chaos of life. As said by Billboard, "Stone's warm vocals and vivid storytelling are coupled with hand-clapped rhythms and ear-grabbing pop-country production as she sings of never wanting to grow up." The "blonde bundle of dynamite" (Metiza) offers an upbeat glimpse of today's generation through her honest and playful lyrics, painting an image of life as a twenty-something backed by an infectious melody worthy of summer anthem status. "I love the idea that sixty years ago, our grandparents were the kids of their day, and then our parents, and now it's our turn," Stone told Billboard. "My friends and I are all just trying to figure out who we are. Every generation has gone through that in their 20s, and the people who came before them have always thought they were crazy!"Videos
