"Young Love" is a song recorded by American country music artist Kip Moore. It was released in November 2013.[1] Moore wrote the song with Dan Couch and Westin Davis.[2] The song along with his next single "Dirt Road" were projected to be on his sophomore studio album, but were scrapped when the two songs stalled at radio.

Critical reception

The song received a favorable review from Taste of Country, which said that Moore "proves his sharp storytelling is the rule, not the exception." The review also stated that "Moore’s husky voice is comfortable with a love song, yet some sort of hurt or regret seems to soak into this interpretation."[3] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, writing that "this story has been told before but it's told here in a new, interesting, and most importantly, very Kip Moore way." Bjorke called Moore's voice "as raspy and as inviting musically as ever," adding that "the production from Brett James is as solid as everything on Up All Night and helps accentuate the lyrics to the track."[4]

Music video

The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in January 2014.[5]
