"Forever Young" is a single released by Australian rock group, Youth Group. The song is a cover of the 1980s hit song of the same name by Alphaville. The song is featured in Youth Group's third album Casino Twilight Dogs.

Youth Group were asked to do a cover of the song for the hit American television show, The O.C.. As well as being used in an episode of the show, the song was used as the theme song for season three ads in Australia, which began in early 2006. It also features on the compilation soundtrack, Music from the OC: Mix 5.

"Forever Young" debuted on the ARIA charts at #2 and was #1 in digital downloads in Australia and has been certified gold in Australia. The single, sometimes referred to as the Forever Young EP, contains three tracks; "Forever Young", "Someone Else's Dream" and an edited version of "Forever Young".

The music video consists of footage of teenagers skating, taken from the Australian youth programme GTK which aired from 1969 to 1975. The skating footage is from the first skateboard contest in 1975 held at the Coca Cola factory at Frenchs Forest, New South Wales, Australia.
