Coming of Age by Foster the People Song Info
“Coming of Age” is the first single released from Foster The People’s sophomore album "Supermodel". A mural time-lapse video of the "Supermodel" album art being painted on the side of a building in the band’s native Los Angeles was released to promote the song and album on January 13, 2014. "'Coming of Age was the last song we wrote for the record, we wrote it in the studio while we were recording. It kind of came out of nowhere, which songs do sometimes. It’s kind of funny, it’s the last song we wrote and recorded and it is the first song everybody is going to hear. Lyrically it is almost a confession. It is about a moment of clarity, having a moment of clarity and I think for me this year, being home, was that quiet after the storm of touring for two years and my life drastically changing. It was kind of the first breath I had to really look around and see that there were some things that happened during that period with my friends and with my loved ones, with the people that are close to me and with myself as well. It is the first time that I got a clear look on those things and that’s kind of what the song is about. It’s about growing up.'" - Mark to XFM Radio London
