Ahmed Mohamed praying in front of the Statue of Liberty at the end was truly beautiful. An absolutely stunning moment, incredibly powerful.

Other artists are out there making videos bragging about their success and money, yet here you are making videos about changing the world. I applaud you for being humble and mature.

This is one of Shawn's most underrated songs

4 years later and this is still one of my favorite songs ❤

Ahmed praying at the end of this video just made my day and brought tears of joy in my eyes, it’s so great to see somebody that can have a huge voice in the world to come out here and make a change. I love u guys ☺️😊❤️

„Pain. But I wont let it turn into hate.“ Strong words

This song conveys a really powerful message. A message for our youth, for our world and for the people who raise their voices against humiliation and discrimination, people who fought for peace and people who are still struggling for it. This song has beauty which can't be expressed in few words. This song shows diversity, differences, struggles between us and in this world but most importantly it shows that until and unless you are determined to raise your voice, to take a step against the wrong, you can make a change. And a small change can make a big difference. Heads off to Shawn and Khalid for this, this song is amazing it gives a really strong and incomprehensible emotion which is utterly beautiful.

This is exactly why i still love Shawn so much after a very long time, his music is touching and reaches out to everyone, transmitting a powerful message. I will never forget how much his music has made an impact during these past years. They have gotten me through tough times. I love you Shawn, and always will. Keep up your amazing music❤️

7:00 WOW SURAH AL-FATIHAH The overall video was awesome! What an amazing message.....we need more videos like this I swear

6:59 as a muslim I cried at this. I am so happy Shawn, Khalid and their team added the recitation of Surah Fathiha. The respect Shawn has given for us muslims, I bet you no other artist would add the entire recitation. this is so beautiful and I love him even more!

im so glad shawn brings these topics up which most artists are afraid to, we love you shawn

The way he added the Muslim line at the end was very amazing and kind of him, they way he addressed every person's name and age.. the powerful meaning of this song is very underrate.. I definitely feel like Shawn Mendes is that much of a polite human being that this industry and generation needed .. I feel like everyone human being should watch this and this song should get the recognition it deserves

the lil boy at the end melted my heart. what an angel. 👼🏼

The part with Surah Al Fathiha was just beautiful. Thank you guys

im sorry the fact that he added the Muslim at the end and the prayer, that caught me off guard ill be honest i started crying when i heard it. Its amazing just to know that there is still some humanity left in this world and people do still care which made me respect Shawn and Khalid even more. Mashallah thats amazing, may Allah bless you. :)

Corona, I dedicate this song to you. You wont break us down.

"Pain but i wont let it turn into hate" i really love this part

this video...im out of words. i have never seen any video or anything online that was THIS diversified and THIS powerful to society today. This video shows so much...love,different culture,emotions,different ages, different disabilities etc. This is what our generation needs, we need to speak up with everything we got. We will not back down until we get what WE want, which is love, happiness, and safety. This video is truly amazing and has me in tears. :')

One of the most beautiful, powerful, and truly inspirational songs ever made

I find this song, as a masterpiece. Nothing can match its excellence.

Come through powerful, meaningful video, thank you for representing so many different types of people guys, such an amazing production.

Shawn is so precious ❤

This song has a special place in my heart. It remembers me that I'm worth something and that others can't change me and my opinion ❤️ Thank you so much Shawn

Don't ask who's still here, because the real fans never left.

You’re so Inspirational Shawn! Love the message of the song. Khalid too of course. Great Video😊

I just want to say thankyou to shawn and khalid for using their platforms to promote something soo important and serious. To say that the video was touching was an understatement. This is pure beauty. I am still shaking. Wether it be the breaking of the guns at the starting or those small speeches at the end.. this mv is soo powerful. Heartwarming. Seriously hatts off to one of the best musicians of our century. Thank you Shawn and Khalid ♥

this song is criminally underrated

It's like a masterpiece

SHAWN AND KHALID REALLY DID THAT!!!

Thank you SHAWN and KHALID for giving us muslims respect through this video Means a lot to all of us THANK YOU SO MUCH

If you're still watching in 2021? You deserve to meet Shawn

I'll never get over the fact this is so underrated :(

Shawn using his platform for a good message is something that’s so important that other influencers need to do too.

I’m so proud of Shawn and Khalid for using their platform and voice to make a difference, for including so many beliefs, religions and people. As a Muslim myself it makes me so happy to see my Muslim brother and sister including in this, alongside all the other beautiful people. So much love for Shawn ❤️ if you listen carefully, you can hear the people in power shaking. #YouCantTakeMyYouthAway

OMG!!!. This one is like a celestial enchanting masterpiece of Shawn. For the last three years this one is like a hidden treasure in an unreachable platform. A special request to all of Shawn Mendes as well as Khalid worldwide diehard fans, please prove that you all are very responsible youth and uplift this song as a record breaking one that ever happened. Show the world that we never ever underrate "Youth" 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍🙌👏

Not only is this song underrated but the music video is aswell. I loved every single second of it as he's shining more light onto these people who are trying to make a difference in our society.

“Pain, but I won’t let it turn to hate” so beautiful

It's so great to see the Pakistanis, and all the Muslims being a part of the MendesArmy. Loved to see the comment section filled with love and respect for all the religions, nationalities and everyone. Shawn can definitely improve us. We are all equal. ❤ no matter you're a Pakistani, Indian, American, or Muslim, Hindu, Christian or whosoever, or whatever your colour is: we all are equal. Let's spread shawnism filled with love, care and support for everyone. 🙂

I was listening to the song very fondly. I haven't watched the video before. It was a surprise to me to see "Namaz(prayer)" in the song. I am also a Muslim and I was very impressed. I love you so much, Shawn Mendes.♥️♥️♥️

I'm mainly into classic rock from the 60's-80's and usually never listen to modern music but this is an amazing exception.

So powerful, thank you for all these emotions Shawn and Khalid 🌹

as a Muslim person, I’m about to cry. HUGE thank you to Shawn, Khalid, and their teams and producers. Sometimes in today’s world things get tough and it’s hard to feel appreciated, but having someone you look up to be an ally is truly heart warming. All the love ❤️

If you haven't cried watching this song, are you even young 🥺😭

This song deserves better because WE DESERVE BETTER

I'm speechless.. Huge respect not only for Shawn Mendes and Khalid but all of those young superheroes...

I didn't expect this to have such a powerful message

the more I listen to it, the more I realize the power of teenagers' dreams...thanks Shawn

I’ve been dealing with depression for 10 years, pressure from school, my mom always say hurtful words to me and I been dealing for bullying for so long. Shawn I’ve been following you for 8 years. And this is the best song you have made so far. At the moment I was about to kill myself, this so save my life. You, Shawn Mendes and Khalid save my life. I been listening to this song every time I’m free, it’s been 4 years now. I really appreciate it from the first day you first release it until now. Thank you.

This has to be one of the best music videos ever made.... Shawn Mendes is a legend, hero and inspiration to so many..

You're so inspirational shawn. This song is full of meaning and your voice gives me motivation to keep uploading videos and inspire other people. Thank you!

"Pain. But I won't let it turn into hate." - Bet. Sending love to all of the people all over the globe. We are all one, and we are all in this together. This is the only home that we have, and we must work together as one family to survive, express our collective unity and strength, and create the future that we desire. This is our greatest challenge and will be our greatest triumph.

Your physical appearance or facial expressions doesn't defines you right you've the power to bring better version of yourself by your own!!!! Thankyouu shawn💕

I can’t even find the right words for what i want to say now. Shawn, I have supported you for such a long time now, and this video and this song explains why. When the song first came out, I thought it was so beautiful, and it had such a beautiful message. And this video, i don’t even have the words for it. You are one of the few artists who really care, and who use their platform to inspire and help others, and that’s why i support you. Many people have an amazing voice and make nice songs, but you have such a great personality on top of that, which puts you above everyone else. I swear to god, you are seriously the most amazing artist out there. That’s a fact. Everyone who disagrees, seriously come fight me.

I'm literally in tears.... most people may see this as a song but if you truly listen to the lyrics you will understand that it's more than a song.... it's a fight for peace

Here I am, stuck on this couch Scrolling through my notes Heart was broken, still not growing, nah Waking up to headlines Filled with devastation again My heart is broken But I keep going Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me Never losing sight of the one I keep inside Now, I know it Yeah, I know it You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away It's hard to sleep at night Knowing what's outside Feeling hopeless I need focus You hit me with words I never heard come out your mouth To be honest I don't want it, no Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away (youth away) You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away Pain, but I won't let it turn into hate No, I won't let it change me You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away This soul of mine will never break As long as I wake up today You can't take my youth away You can't take my youth away

Just walked out of an abusive relationship because this song and “Clover Cage - Learning To Love Myself” are the two songs that got rid of my depression. I’m free ❤. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕😊

I'm so grateful he exists and that he is using his platform to spread good messages

Wow...I'm so proud of this. I love how you've included people of all races, sizes, gender, illnesses..it's just amazing. I know this song can change the mind of some people and can empower others. I'm so proud that you use your social media for this. Youth can change the world and Youth will change the world.

2 years later and this song still hits very hard,,, I hope this song gets more recognition! this song is my anthem!!!

Thank you Shawn love all your messages they always touch me! I can't wait until I get to go to one of your concerts!

Finally..... Someone who uses their platform for good 🎇💗💖 I'm so proud Shawn 💛❤

this song is so beautiful. khalid and shawn work so well together to make beautiful music.

This makes me feel not insecure about my self dancing and this WILL encourage me to do tons of excersise and to dance more. Thanks Shawn ❤️

久しぶりに聞きたくなった。名曲！！

7:00 as a muslim I’m shook and very touched.I don’t need a lot of reasons why i love Shawn.This video says it all.Regard from Malaysia 🇲🇾!

Its amazing how there are musicians who, in a time of need and need to communicate, prefer putting twerking girls in the back of their video, while musicians with a vision like Khalid and Shawn spread love and awareness. Bravo to you and to those young people making a difference in the world

can someone plz explain to me how tf did i barely know this song existed until 3 years later...?? why tf did it not blow up to over a billion views?? why don't they want us to see this???

Beautiful Unity ❤❤❤

Was wondering when Youth's music video was gonna come out, now is a more perfect time than ever.

While people are using their platforms for fights and drama Shawn is out here spreading a positive message. An icon.

How many legends are listening this masterpiece in 2022 ❤️❤️ So Inspirational

Hi I'm from Iran and watching this was good for me. I just wanted to say Thank you Shawn ❤

The world needs more people like Shawn and Khalid

Shawn is a Legend ❤🙏

Omg....What a deep meaning....

I love this song with all my heart... lots of words describe how sometimes i can feell and that´s so special ☺

What this mv has: • a positive message • Shawn looking good asf

0% nudity 0% cursing 100% art *THIS IS AMAZING*

The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now she sings it with me! This song and “Clover Cage - Make a Difference” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️

I'm so impressed on everything he does actually.

Shawn is constantly working soo hard everyday, producing music, inspiring young people and never giving up. He’s definitely the most talented music artist. This music video made me and probably everyone here realise that no matter who you are, or what nationality you are, we’ve equally got a heart to love. God bless Shawn and Khalid cause they deserve everything!!❤️👏

I’m so happy that we still have artists today like Shawn and Khalid who uses their platform to inspire and teach young people to stand up for themselves and to explain to us that no one can ever take our youth away.

this song means so much more at this point in time...

one of the most inspirational songs i will always love

This video is so powerful, wow. Shawn is really out here, making a change to the world. His "treat you better" song was against domestic abuse and he has done so much. We love you, Shawn.

This passes us such an important and strong message. Two legends together making the diference. Love you so much ❤❤❤ #YouCantTakeOurYouthAway

The most incredible music of shwan Mendes ❤

the fact that they put the whole surah alfatihah at the end, it amazed me.

omg i love how this incorporates many types of religion, colour, disabilities and everything. We are all humans no matter what background we're from, we're all the same! EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS IT HAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT MESSAGEEE

Shawn Mendes made his message so clear in this video. Instead of using his music videos to portray the “hot and popular” guys and girls he used people who have had self doubt in there physical appearance and religion among other things. I am so glad to see Shawn use his platform to lift people up and show them how loved they are and how needed they are in the society we live in. This video personally spoke to me as I have had physical appearance issues and kids come up to and tell me that I’m not equal to them or I don’t deserve the same treatment as them. Thank you Shawn for lighting us up and using your platform to portray us in a good manner and make us feel wanted and loved. 🧡

Happy 5th Anniversary to Youth! Their voices are so amazing, alone and together. ❤🎉5/3/2023

Still got goosebumps when got here again... such a beautiful music video...

that one section at the end where it was a muslim praying has earnt shawn and khalid even more respect they have already

shawn, i love you more than words could express. this video made me cry, and not because of my problems, but because it gave me a sense of strength. self-love. life. i could never ask for more to be shown in a music video. thank you.

Thank God for UKposts. So much content and outlet for those who wouldn’t otherwise have a voice

"As long as I wake up today, you can't take my youth away" ^^ Well there lies the problem

I live in Shawn's hometown. My elementary school was down the road from his high school. My sister's grade 2 teacher also taught Shawn when he was smaller. Hey Shawn, all of us from Pickering, Ontario are super proud of you, and we want you to keep going! -The kid that bumped into you at Pickering mall that day before you blew up Btw that teachers name was Ms Etto

7:00 shaaawn you’re an angel !!!!! Really, the video is wonderful !!!! You’re the best !!!!! ❤️

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day! :)💖💖💖

My youth was taken away from me. So I’m doing it again. No one can take it away for good. Stay young for ever and ever. We are always just children of god.
