Act Your Age is a song by Australian hip hop trio Bliss N Eso. It was released as the fourth single from their fifth studio album Circus in the Sky. The single was released through Illusive Sounds on 16 August 2013.^[1] The song peaked at #31 on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified gold, making it Bliss N Eso's fifth gold single.^[2]^[3] The song contains a sample of "Act Yr Age" by Bluejuice. The song's message is to not worry about acting your age, just have fun. 'Act Your Age' finished at #67 on the 2013 Triple J Hottest 100.^[4]

Music video

The song's video was uploaded to Bliss N Eso's YouTube channel "blissnesoTV" on 7 August 2013, and currently has about 2,000,000 views. The video show's Bliss N Eso waking up after a night of partying and well as flashbacks to the party the day before, where they, among other things, swim, dance, eat cake and ride a helicopter. The video also contains references to Borat and Ron Burgundy, and features a cameo from comedian Alex Williamson, who features on the song "Cialis Cuts" and whom Eso has previously collaborated with comically.^[5] The video was filmed over two days at a private property in Bilambil, NSW Australia.

Critical reception

Reception to the song was positive. AAA Backstage wrote that "'Act Your Age', sampling Bluejuice's pop hit 'Act Yr Age' is a great example of Izm's scratching and is a cheeky throwback to the trio's previous style of rapping; truly a rolling romp all the way back to their early days."^[6]

Chart performance

The song debuted at No. 78 on the ARIA Singles Chart and went on to peak at No. 31, and spent a total of 12 weeks on the chart.^[7]^[8] It was certified Gold in January 2014 for sales/shipments of over 35,000 copies.^[9]
