The Young Promotional Single featured in Miss Americana | 2020 \u201cOnly The Young\u201d is a song written and produced by Taylor and Joel Little. It incorporates political lyrics, urging young citizens to get involved in politics, alluding to President Donald Trump, the 2016 presidential election and mass shootings in the United States. The song was released by Republic Records on January 31, 2020, alongside Miss Americana, a Netflix documentary that follows Taylor\u2019s life and career over several years. It is featured in the end credits. Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme Taylor wrote \u201cOnly The Young\u201d after the 2018 United States midterm elections. Prior to the elections, Taylor broke her political silence by endorsing two Democrats: Congressman Jim Cooper for re-election to the House of Representatives, and former Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen for the Senate. Taylor also criticized the voting record of Bredesen\u2019s opponent, Republican Marsha Blackburn. Taylor told Variety ahead of the song\u2019s release: \u00abIt was hard to see so many people feel like they had canvassed and done everything and tried so hard. I saw a lot of young people\u2019s 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 and how to pay their bills, and climate change, and are we going to war \u2014 all these horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now.\u00bb Taylor Swift During the writing sessions for her seventh studio album Lover (2019), Taylor co-wrote and co-produced several songs with Joel Little, including the political track \u201cMiss Americana &#038; the Heartbreak Prince\u201c, which inspired the name of Taylor\u2019s Netflix documentary. However, she held back \u201cOnly The Young\u201d from being included on the album because she felt its message needed its own moment. Critical Reception \u201cOnly the Young\u201d received acclaim from music critics. Chris Willman of Variety termed the song as \u201can anthem for millennials who might\u2019ve come away disillusioned with the political process\u201d. Entertainment Weekly writer Lauren Huff dubbed it a \u201cpolitical anthem\u201d with lyrics aimed at American youth. Billboard\u2019s Gil Kaufman called the song an \u201curgent, clear-eyed\u201d tune that sees Taylor \u201cgiving voice to her disillusionment about our stuck society\u201d. He described the song\u2019s theme as \u201ca sad concession and a defiant warning\u201d to older generations, that \u201ctheir greed and failure to act has given rise to a youth movement determined to turn the page.\u201d Commercial Performance In the United States, buoyed by 30,000 sales in its first week, \u201cOnly The Young\u201d debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart, becoming Taylor\u2019s record-extending 19th number-one song on the chart. Despite not being a single, the song also debuted at No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming her ninety-seventh Hot 100 entry. Usage in the Biden\/Harris 2020 Campaign \u201cOnly The Young\u201d was soundtracked in an advertisement as a part of Democratic campaigns in the 2020 United States presidential elections. Californian representative Eric Swalwell revealed that Taylor allowed the usage of the song for the Biden\/Harris campaign free-of-cost, marking the first time she has lended her music to be used in a political advertisement. Lyrics [Verse 1]It keeps me awakeThe look on your faceThe moment you heard the newsYou\u2019re screaming insideAnd frozen in timeYou did all that you could doThe game was riggedThe ref got trickedThe wrong ones think they\u2019re rightYou were outnumberedThis time [Chorus 1]But only the youngOnly the youngOnly the youngOnly the youngCan run [Post-Chorus 1]Can runSo runAnd runAnd run [Verse 2]So every day nowYou brace for the soundYou\u2019ve only heard on TVYou go to class scaredWondering where the best hiding spot would beAnd the big bad man and his big bad clanTheir hands are stained with redOh, how quickly they forget [Bridge]They aren\u2019t gonna help usToo busy helping themselvesThey aren\u2019t gonna change thisWe\u2019ve got to do it ourselvesThey think that it\u2019s over but it\u2019s just begunOnly one thing can save us [Chorus 2]Only the young (Only the young)Only the young (Only the young)Only the young (Only the young)Only the youngOnly the young (Only the young)Only
