“Young Hearts Run Free” is a disco song written by David Crawford and originally recorded by American soul singer Candi Staton in 1976.

“Young Hearts Run Free” was written by its producer David Crawford. According to Staton, the song’s genesis was a conversation she had with Crawford over lunch in Los Angeles: Staton – “Dave Crawford was always asking me: ‘What’s happening in your life’…and I was [then] with someone I shouldn’t have been with and it was hard getting out of that…very abusive relationship”…”I [noticed] that [Crawford] was taking notes, and he said, ‘You know, I’m gonna write you a song. I’m gonna write you a song that’s gonna last forever.'”

Released in 1976 from the album of the same title, it spent a week at number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart. It also peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Along with the tracks “Run to Me” and “Destiny”, “Young Hearts Run Free” went to number eight on the dance/disco charts. “Young Hearts Run Free” was one of only two songs by Staton to reach the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, it peaked at number two behind The Real Thing’s “You to Me Are Everything”.

In 1986 the song was remixed by John Morales and Sergio Munzibai (M&M). The reissue peaked at number fourty seven on the UK singles chart.
