Only The Young 

Taylor Swift

TAYLOR SWIFT ONLY THE YOUNG SONG DETAILS

"Only The Young" was released on 01/31/2020, simultaneously with the Netflix documentary "Taylor Swift: Miss Americana". Swift commented on the song, "I don't see it as a single. I just see it as a song that goes with this film. I don't see it as a 'let's go make a music video and try to see what this does at radio' single."

Taylor Swift explained in an interview for Variety that she had written this song after USA 2018 midterm elections. She said in particular, "I saw a lot of young people's hopes dashed. And I found that to be particularly tragic, because young people are the people who feel the worst effects of gun violence, and student loans and trying to figure out how to start their lives..."

Emmi and Lila—two daughters of Joel Little who co-wrote and co-produced this track—sang harmonies on it without knowing that they would be used on a Taylor Swift's song. He wrote about it on Twitter on 01/22/2020, "My kids are gonna absolutely lose their shit."

Taylor Swift pulls exactly zero punches on the new urgent, clear-eyed song "Only The Young," from her just-released Netflix documentary, Miss Americana. The song, out today (Jan. 31) along with the doc, was written and produced by the singer and Joel Little (Lorde, Sam Smith) and it finds Swift giving voice to her disillusionment about our stuck society.

"They aren't gonna help us/ Too busy helping themselves/ They aren't gonna change this/ We gotta do it ourselves/ They think that it's over/ But it's just begun," she sings over the song's spare, ominious beat and backing vocals from what sounds like a children's choir.

It's a sad concession and a defiant warning to the older generation that their greed and failure to act has given rise to a youth movement determined to turn the page.

TAYLOR SWIFT ONLY THE YOUNG SONG LYRICS

It keeps me awake

The look on your face

The moment you heard the news

You're screaming inside

And frozen in time

You did all that you could do

The game was rigged, the ref got tricked

The wrong ones think they're right

You were outnumbered — this time

But only the young

Only the young

Only the young

Only the young can run

Can run, so run

And run, and run

So every day now

You brace for the sound

You've only heard on TV

You go to class, scared

Wondering where the best hiding spot would be

And the big bad man and his big bad clan

Their hands are stained with red

Oh, how quickly, they forget

They aren't gonna help us

Too busy helping themselves

They aren't gonna change this

We gotta do it ourselves

They think that it's over

But it's just begun

Only one thing can save us

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young

Only the young (Only the young)

(Don't say you're too tired to fight

It's just a matter of time

Up there's the finish line)

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young (Only the young)

Only the young

Can run

Don't say you're too tired to fight

It's just a matter of time (Can run)

Up there's the finish line

So run, and run, and run

Don't say you're too tired to fight

It's just a matter of time (So run)

Up there's the finish line

And run, and run, and run

Only the young

Only the young

Only the young
