Fun - We Are Young (ft. Janelle Monae)

"We Are Young" is a song by American indie pop band Fun., featuring American singer Janelle Monáe. The song was released on September 20, 2011, as the first single from Fun's second studio album Some Nights. The song was the first to be written for the band's second album and was the first to be recorded, setting a template for the rest of the sessions that created the record. "We Are Young" was described by Billboard magazine as a "grandiose alternative number, built on theatrical orchestration and a propulsive, immediate chorus that beams with inspirational effect." An indie pop and alternative rock power ballad, "We Are Young" also draws influences from the genres of power pop and stadium rock.
