What it is
"When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)" is a Beach Boys song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, released as a single in August 1964 and later included on The Beach Boys Today! (1965). A teenage boy worries about growing up: whether he will still love the things he enjoyed as a kid, and whether love will last into adulthood.
