So Young (3:40)

“So Young” is the fourth and final single from the debut album by Suede, released on May 17, 1993 on Nude Records. It charted at number 22 on the UK singles chart, which although lower than the number 7 charted by the previous single, “Animal Nitrate”, was strong nonetheless. It is the only single from the album to not feature an upbeat pop hook, which might have attributed to the lower charting.

The video for the single was directed by Andy Crabb and David Lewis, who later went on to direct a series of backdrop films for Suede as well as the live tour film Introducing The Band and features children from the Kent coastal town of Whitstable. Originally intended to have no footage of the band members, a shoot was then arranged at the instigation of the record company who insisted that the band appear.
