"At Seventeen" is a song by American singer-songwriter
#JanisIan from her seventh studio album
#BetweenTheLines.
#Columbia released it in July 1975 as the album's second single. Ian wrote the lyrics on the basis of a
#NewYorkTimes article and used a
#samba instrumental, and Brooks Arthur produced the final version. A
#pop and
#softRock ballad, the song is about a social outcast in
#highSchool. Critics have regarded "At Seventeen" as a type of
#anthem.
