Young Turks cover

Rod Stewart's song debuted in 1981 on his eleventh studio album, Tonight I'm Yours. The track features Stewart performing with a synth-pop and new wave style, partly drawing inspiration from groups like Devo. The song is frequently referred to by alternative titles including "Young Hearts" or "Young Hearts Be Free" due to the chorus emphasizing the phrase "young hearts, be free, tonight" rather than the title phrase itself.

The term "young Turk" traditionally refers to a rebellious young person who defies conventional societal expectations, originating from an early 20th-century secular nationalist reform movement.
