Yâall gotta understand that this song is a personal reflection of Troyeâs past ârelationshipâ. But, it also explores the broader concept of gay men (often in high school and or college) who meet up with much older men for hookups so that they can feel something. The young dating world is full of straight, healthy relationships, compared to the gay community which has extremely toxic relationships. High school / college aged gay guys donât get to experience healthy relationships nearly as often as straights do, which has caused unhealthy hookups with much older men that are often made through dating apps like Grindr.

[Verse 1]
I got these beliefs that I think you wanna break
Got something here to lose that I think you wanna take from me
You say that I'm asleep but I wanna be awake
Got something here to lose that I know you wanna take
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said age is just a number, just like any other
We can do whatever, do whatever you want
Boy becomes a man now
Can't tell a man to slow down
Heâll just do whatever, do whatever he wants
[Chorus]
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
Oh, seventeen
[Verse 2]
You should know I'm green but I'll find my way around
Heard the whispers, now let's see what all the talk's about
I'm taking in the sights and measuring the sounds
Heard the whispers, now let's see what all the talk's about
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said age is just a number, just like any other
We can do whatever, do whatever you want
Boy becomes a man now
Can't tell a man to slow down
Heâll just do whatever, do whatever he wants
[Chorus]
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
Oh, seventeen
[Bridge]
Oh, seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
[Chorus]
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
Oh, seventeen
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
Oh, seventeen
[Outro]
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen

This song... i just feel the vulnerability and complexity in it. Itâs speaks to the current maturity of Troye because the song is ambiguous enough to be interpreted in different ways (1 high-key concerning, another low-key concerning). Itâs a song about being Seventeen that cant be writing by a seventeen year old, itâs based in reflection and I love that writing from Troye

This gives me a "Call me by your name" vibe
