On a stage that’s often reserved for polished late-night performances, YUNGBLUD tore through the boundaries of convention with a fiery, unrelenting version of his underground anthem “I Love You, Will You Marry Me.” Appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the Doncaster-born rocker turned the studio into a frenzy of electricity, blurring the line between a TV performance and a full-blown punk gig.
Backed by his high-octane band, YUNGBLUD launched into the gritty story-song, which originated as a satirical take on urban love, exploitation, and the commercialization of tragedy. With every lyric, he leaned into the rawness of the track — spitting words, pacing the stage, and throwing himself into the performance with the intensity of an artist who refuses to tone down his truth for any platform.
The camera caught Seth Meyers grinning in awe as YUNGBLUD shouted the infamous hook — “I love you, will you marry me?” — his voice cracking with passion, half-shouted, half-sung, but wholly authentic. The studio audience, initially unsure of what to expect, quickly rose to their feet, clapping and chanting along as if they’d been dropped into the middle of a festival mosh pit.
What made the moment even more powerful was YUNGBLUD’s ability to inject meaning into chaos. Beneath the explosive delivery lies a biting commentary on social inequality, commercialization of romance, and the forgotten voices of working-class youth — themes that resonate just as strongly today as they did when the song first exploded onto the scene.
By the time the final chord rang out, the studio was left buzzing. YUNGBLUD didn’t just perform a song; he delivered a manifesto — proof that punk rebellion and uncompromising honesty still have a place on late-night television.
This was more than a performance. It was a statement: raw, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
