MØNTE's "23"
""23" is about getting older and feeling strange about it. While writing this song I thought about how certain birthdays are so exciting when we are kids. For me when I was a kid I was so excited to turn 18 and be an adult and 21 when I could finally buy alcohol. When I passed those ages I started to feel very melancholic about my birthday. Being in your 20s in general is a very difficult time so I wanted to write a song about that. I want people to be excited like we were when we were kids about getting older. Aging is beautiful but it's something I know we all slightly dread it." - MØNTE
