Background and release
On 3 July 2014 Florrie released her single "Little White Lies". In early 2015, the singer announced a follow-up single to "Little White Lies", which would be entitled "Too Young to Remember", and released in March 2015. The song was released on iTunes on 6 March, along with its remix EP, which included one made by Florrie herself. Previous to the single's release, in late 2014, an album sampler of Florrie's debut album began circulating on the web, which included "Too Young to Remember", "Turn the World Upside Down", "Galaxies", "Looking for Love In the Wrong Place", "Little White Lies" and the 2013 single "Live a Little". However, the album was ultimately shelved, and the unreleased tracks remained the same way, without future plans to be published. An acoustic version of the song was posted at Florrie's official YouTube account on 13 March 2015.
Composition
"Too Young to Remember" lasts for three minutes and fifty-one seconds, running at a moderate tempo of 98 beats per minute, set at 44 time signature.
