In The Heart Of The Young was the second album by American glam metal band Winger. It was released by Atlantic Records in 1990.
Musically, In The Heart Of The Young, followed closely in the footsteps of the band's debut album. Once again produced by Beau Hill the album features hook driven, progressive-tinged, radio friendly pop metal. There are, however, also some notable changes from the debut. In the second half of the album the lyrics take on a more serious approach than was typical for the genre and the band also stretches out into longer and more complex progressive passages than on the first Winger album.
The album was certified platinum and produced such hits as "Can't Get Enuff", "Easy Come Easy Go" and "Miles Away", the latter of which made the Top 20 at Billboard's single chart. The album itself peaked at #15 at the album chart.
Winger followed the release of the album with a 13 month world tour, playing with KISS, Scorpions, ZZ Top, Extreme and Slaughter.
A collection of music videos with the same title was released the following year in two separate VHS volumes.

[edit] Miscellanea
At least two more songs were recorded during the In The Heart Of The Young sessions, but "All I Ever Wanted" and "Never" never made it to the final album because producer Beau Hill found them too heavy for the Winger sound. Both were released later as B-sides.
