Khalid is becoming somewhat of a feature king at this point. Lending his vocal talents to musicians across all genres, Khalid has sung on tracks by Billie Eilish, Sabrina Claudio, and Normani, establishing himself as a go-to voice for up-and-coming pop and R&B singers. His next venture includes hopping on a track with Shawn Mendes, a popular Canadian singer. Announcing the track on Instagram a few days ago, Khalid goes back and forth with Mendes in a duet-type composition.

As youth is a recurring theme for the 20-year-old singer, Khalid was likely drawn to the title of the song. Fittingly named "Youth," the two singers discuss how their youth cannot be taken away regardless of whatever obstacles come in their path. As he continues to rise, Khalid is definitely somebody to keep an eye on as he flaunts his impressive voice with every song he hops on.

Quotable Lyrics:

Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate
No, I won't let it change me
You can't take my youth away
This soul of mine will never break
As long as I wake up today
You can't take my youth away
