Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young

This is one of two songs written by Jim Steinman for the soundtrack of the movie Streets of Fire. Fire Inc. is a studio band assembled for the soundtrack, with lead vocals on this song by Holly Sherwood, who has worked extensively with Stienman in the past. Additional vocalists include Laurie Sargent of "Face to Face" and Rory Dodd, who sang the "turn around, bright eyes" vocals on Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart."

Cover versions of this song have also been recorded by Japanese singer Megumi Shiina, and for the musical Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires).
