Carmine Appice was the drummer in Stewart's band. He wrote the music for this song with Duane Hitchings, a songwriter who also worked on Stewart's hit "D'ya Think I'm Sexy." Appice told us: "Rod was always trying to be on the cutting edge at that time, so we did drum machine stuff. Duane had just gotten a sequencer, so we started screwing around and came up with the chords and melodies. We presented it to Rod. This one was easy because we used the whole concept that we came up with. We just transferred it from the 8-track that Duane had going right onto the 24-track. We used the drum machine and everything. Once we gave Rod the music, he wrote the lyrics".
The main chorus line is not "Young Turks...", but in fact "Young hearts run free tonight". The song is about two young lovers who elope, and later try to explain to their heartbroken friends and family back home why they did it and why they can never return.
