"Kids Again" is a 2014 song by British recording artist Example. It was released as the second single from his fifth studio album, Live Life Living, on 16 March 2014 in the United Kingdom by Epic Records. The song is written and produced by Example, Alf Bamford, and Fraser T Smith.
Background and release
The EP will feature remixes from MOTi, Zed Bias, Dimension and Critikal as well as an extended mix.[3] On 20 January the Zed Bias, MOTi and Critikal remixes were uploaded to Example's YouTube channel.
Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed-to-positive review stating:
"While our idea of reclaiming our youth involves Sabrina The Teenage Witch marathons, Example is feeling rather more adventurous. "We'll see wherever we wanna see/ Run away from home, they'll never reach us," he declares, leading his missus on an adrenaline-fuelled jaunt across the globe, soundtracked by his trademark mix of stomping club beats and Ibiza-ready synths. Yes, Example is re-treading previous territory with his brand of lad EDM, but it's hard not to be charmed by his new perkier outlook on life."
