The 24-year-old singer, known for her hit single “Messy,” announced in September 2023 that she would be taking time off from her career after fainting during a performance at a music festival. This incident prompted her to cancel all upcoming engagements to focus on her well-being.

Following the event, she took to Instagram to provide an update to her fans. In her heartfelt message, she expressed gratitude for the support she has received during her time away.
“Hey, I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who has given me time and space to gather myself and get my head in a better place,” she wrote. “I’ve felt so much love and support from you all, and it has helped more than you will ever know.”
Young also shared her hopes for the future, stating, “I am hoping to gradually get back to performing and continuing pursuing my dreams. Happy holidays to you all and can’t wait to see you in 2026.”
In her concluding remarks, she reflected on her journey, saying, “Life is a journey, nothing is perfect, but today I am doing well. All my love always.” The singer’s return comes at a time when her song “Messy” is gaining traction, having been one of TikTok’s top trending songs in 2025.
Fans and followers have shown overwhelming support for Young as she navigates this challenging period. Her openness about her struggles and commitment to her mental health resonate with many, highlighting the importance of self-care in the demanding entertainment industry.
