As an unforgettable year for Loud Luxury comes to a close, the Diamond and multi-platinum selling duo are ending 2023 with a bang. Today, the pair are back on Armada Music with an anthem for those who remain wild at heart: ‘Young & Foolish’ featuring breakout singer-songwriter charlieonnafriday.

Loud Luxury says, “2023 has been unforgettable. We’re ending the year strong with a record that feels PAINFULLY realistic about an average night out – and not to mention a great way to ring in 2024. Looking at the final song, we know there is something in here that everyone can relate to – making bad decisions that you wouldn't change for the world.”
On working with charlieonnafriday, they add: “charlieonnafriday is an artist we’ve been following for the last year, and we’ve played so many of the same colleges together that it was only a matter of time before we teamed up. From the first time we were in the studio together, we were adamant about this track being fun, but brutally honest. We wanted to describe the highs – and lows – of growing up.”
