Growing Up is the debut studio album by American rock band the Linda Lindas. Epitaph Records released the album on April 8, 2022. It was produced by Carlos de la Garza, the father of band members Lucia and Mila de la Garza. Recording sessions for Growing Up took place at Music Friends in Los Angeles from June to October 2021. Growing Up is a punk rock album, with lyrics that focus on themes of growing up, discovering oneself, and anxieties that arise in adolescence. The album was written during the COVID-19 pandemic, limiting the band's ability to write together.

Growing Up received generally favorable reviews from critics and appeared on multiple 2022 year-end lists. The album peaked at number 19 on the US Top Album Sales chart by Billboard. It also charted internationally, peaking at number 49 on Japan's Oricon Albums Chart and number 4 on the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart. Skateboarder Ray Barbee and Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna made cameos in the music videos for the four singles released from the album: "Oh!", "Nino", "Growing Up", and "Talking to Myself". To promote Growing Up, the Linda Lindas embarked on a tour in late 2022, performing with Japanese Breakfast, Bacchae, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
