Following the breakout success of their self-titled debut album in 2023, Dublin’s Somebody’s Child – the project led by Cian Godfrey – returned with a bold new chapter in their musical journey. They announced their highly anticipated sophomore album When Youth Fades Away, set for release on March 28, 2025, via Frenchkiss Records. The announcement comes alongside the release of the album’s lead single, “Time Of My Life,” which is now available on all streaming platforms.

Recorded in the US with by Grammy Award-winner Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit), When Youth Fades Away showcases a leap in maturity, both musically and thematically, for the band. Frontman Cian Godfrey describes the album as a reflection on the inevitable process of ageing and the shifting perspectives that come with it. “If our first album was about running away, this one is about staying put and reflecting,” says Godfrey. “It’s about letting people in and letting ourselves out.”
