    Composition[edit]

    Van Buuren spoke about how the song came together.[1]

    "So I just sent him an e-mail saying, 'Hey man I'm a big fan of your work, and I'm so proud that you mentioned me on your Wikipedia.' And he got back to us and we started talking and we made a track together."[1]

    The song was created through exchanges over the internet. Van Buuren described the track as "simple yet effective" and a "beautiful, sweet little song."[1]

    Critical reception[edit]

    "Youtopia" was met with generally positive reviews. We Rave You stated, "its catchy synths and melodies coinciding with Young’s charming vocals, this track is quite a delight to hear from beginning to end."[3]
