'Young Dumb & Broke': Khalid Talks Normani, Kel & More In His Cameo-Packed Music Video
Watch our next 'Laid Bare' commentary with the 'American Teen' rising star...
Singer-songwriter Khalid is on fire. This summer he picked up Best New Artist at the VMAs and currently he has no less than THREE singles to his name in the Official UK Top 40 chart.
His features on Logic’s ‘1-800’ and Marshmello’s ‘Silence’ are already Top 20 hits and his carefree single ‘Young Dumb & Broke’ is looking good to join them.
Khalid heads back to high school in the music video for 'Young Dumb & Broke' and we were lucky enough to have the star to talk us through it for MTV Laid Bare...
Just like I know you should
I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Ya-da-da da-da da-da-da
Ya-da-da da-da da-da
Ya-da-da da-da-da da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
We have so much in common
We argue all the time
You always say I'm wrong
I'm pretty sure I'm right
What's fun about commitment?
When we have our life to live
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Ya-da-da da-da da-da-da
Ya-da-da da-da da-da
Ya-da-da da-da da-da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Jump and we think, leave it all in the game of love, love
Run into sin, do it all in the name of fun, fun
Woo-oo-oo
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Ya-da-da da-da da-da-da
Ya-da-da da-da da-da
Ya-da-da da-da da-da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
Ya-da-da da-da da-da-da
Ya-da-da da-da da-da
Ya-da-da da-da da-da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids
A video bursting with cameos, none other than Fifth Harmony's Normani features briefly alongside the singer as 'Prom King & Queen'.
"I love Normani," Khalid beamed, "she’s a really good friend of mine, she’s the sweetest, she’s the nicest, she’s so down to earth like every time we get together we talk for hours. She’s awesome."
Kenan & Kel's Kel Mitchell also pops up as a canteen staffer, who breaks into a dance-off with the singer.
"[The] dance scene with me and Kel is like freestyled, not forced, good vibes. I'm just feeding off his energy. I swear we danced for a good, I wanna say, four minutes and they only kept around not even 20 seconds of the dancing but it’s probably my favourite part of the video. He’s such a cool dude."
Elsewhere Khalid tells us about how he sacrificed his sinuses for a shot laying on the grass - "I'm allergic to grass, and I laid in the grass for this shot and it was terrible!" - plus he admits that although he bosses it dancing on a football field he "never played sports. I wasn’t athletic. Sports just is not me. I ran track - that’s about it."
Us too.
Watch all that and more in Khalid's whole commentary in our Laid Bare video above!
