Young Dumb & Broke

"Young Dumb & Broke" is a song by Khalid, released as a single for his debut studio album, American Teen.

Background
As revealed on Genius, Khalid explained, "We created the beat from scratch, me and Joel Little. I just wanted something not necessarily positive, but super upbeat. Hearing the chords, "I was like this sounds anthemic." And I was like, "You know what. I'm young, I'm dumb, and I'm broke. I've been young, I've been dumb, and I've been broke." That's pretty much where the basis of the song came from. I feel like the whole project is all about me being honest. And I felt like, you can't get more honest than calling yourself young, dumb, and broke."

Music video
The official music video was posted to YouTube on August 1, 2017, filmed in a high school. It included cameos of celebrities, including Dennis Haskins, Rachael Leigh Cook, Normani Kordei, and Wayne Brady.
