I'm Just a Kid

"I'm Just a Kid" is a song by Canadian rock band Simple Plan. The song appeared on their first album, No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls, and was released as their debut single on February 4, 2002. Lead singer Pierre Bouvier said he and drummer Chuck Comeau wrote "I'm Just a Kid" about how they felt when they attending high school, namely "feel[ing] like it's the end of the world". The band wanted "Addicted" as the first single, however, due to a film opportunity, "I'm Just a Kid" was chosen instead; it ultimately appeared on the soundtrack for The New Guy (2002).
