In the Heart of the Young is the second studio album by American rock band Winger. It was released by Atlantic Records in 1990. Beau Hill produced the album. Although coming out at the decline of the melodic hard rock scene in the U.S., the release proved a commercial success, prompting additional touring by the group.
Musically, In the Heart of the Young followed closely in the footsteps of the band's debut album. The members, however, also made some notable changes in comparison to their debut, particularly given the new emphasis on both progressive rock elements and sentimental ballads.
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. According to Kip Winger, "Can't Get Enuff" and "Easy Come Easy Go" were late additions to the track listing, written because it was felt there were not enough rock songs on the album. 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 other hard rock and heavy metal groups such as Kiss, Scorpions, ZZ Top, Extreme, and Slaughter.
