1989년 2번째 앨범 수록곡으로 전세계적인 메가히트곡.
1970년생인 데비깁슨은 1986년 첫앨범부터 작사/작곡 및 프로듀스 능력까지 갖춘 싱어송 라이터로 데뷔했다.
이 곡 역시 그녀가 작사/작곡 및 프로듀싱했다.
현재까지도 꾸준히 음반 취입과 연기활동을 병행하는 셀럽의 삶을 살고 있긴 한데 이 곡만 원히트 원더로 기억되기 때문에 현재의 국제적인 인지도는 그리 높진 않은 편이다.

Oh-woah
Zappin' it to you, the pressure's everywhere
Goin' right through you
The fever's in the air, oh yeah, it's there
Don't underestimate the power of a lifetime ahead
Electric youth, feel the power, you see the energy
Comin' up, coming on strong
The future only belongs to the future itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true, you can't fight it, live by it, the next generation
It's electric
We've got the most time to make the world go 'round
Oh, can you spare a dime?
Place your bet on our sound, come back to town
Don't lose sight of potential mastermind
Remember when you were young
Electric youth, feel the power, you see the energy
Comin' up, coming on strong
The future only belongs in the hands of itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true, you can't fight it, live by it, the next generation
It's electric
We do what comes naturally (naturally)
You see now, wait for the possibility
Don't you see a strong resemblance to yourself? (oh)
Don't you think what we say is important?
Whatever it may be, the fun is gonna start with me
I'm bringing it back
Electric youth, feel the power, you see the energy
Comin' up, coming on strong
The future only belongs to the future itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true, you can't fight it, live by it, the next generation
It's electrifyin'

The future only belongs in the hands of itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true, you can't fight it, live by it, the next generation
It's electric, it's electric, it's electric
Electric youth, feel the power, you see the energy
Comin' up, coming on strong
The future only belongs to the future itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true, you can't fight it, live by it, the next generation
Inflation, flirtation, relaxation, elation
Generation of an electric youth
