Juvenile is the debut album by Danish singer-songwriter Hugo Helmig, released on March 1, 2019.[2] It is Helmig's only full-length album before he ended his career in 2021 and died in 2022. The album includes two radio hits, "Wild" and "Young Like This", the former of which was certified platinum.[3]
Juvenile was produced by Emil Falk, who also co-wrote all of the album's tracks.
The songs on the album revolve around, in Helmig's words,
being young and trying to make sense of life – and everything that comes with love. There are also songs about having fun without thinking about tomorrow, but also about the doubt and insecurity that follows.[4]
