Guys My Age

Los Angeles quintet Hey Violet have been kicking around since 2008, when they formed as the straight-ahead rock band Cherri Bomb. The five-piece released an album through Hollywood Records four years later, but soon after disbanded. Frontwoman Rena Lovelis formed Hey Violet out of the ashes of the defunct band with her drummer sister Nia, as well as keyboardist Miranda Miller, bassist Iain Shipp and lead guitarist Casey Moreta. The retooled group adopted a more synth-based contemporary sound. The quintet were the first act to be signed to Five Seconds of Summer's own label (Hi Or Hey Records via Capitol) and also accompanied the Aussie five-piece on the summer leg of their 2016 arena tour.

Hey Violet made their Hot 100 debut with this song in which Rena Lovelis decries romantic affiliations with guys her age. I haven't seen my ex since we broke up, probably 'cause he didn't wanna grow up Now I'm out and wearing something low-cut, 'bout to get attention from a grown up Lovelis needs someone more mature who knows how to treat her, touch her, need her, and keep her.

Rena Lovelis told Billboard magazine how they know the song's subject matter has hit close to home with their fane base. "We get tweets all the time from people who are like, 'I know exactly who I'm thinking about when I'm listening to this song,' or 'Hey Violet, you explained my relationship perfectly!'" she said with a laugh. "I think we've all been in those relationships. And it's not even just about guys -- girls can get selfish in relationships and not give a guy the attention he needs. It's basically just saying, 'Hold out for something better, because you should be made a priority.'"
