Album

As with "Out of the Blue," all tracks were written by Gibson herself, and she single-handedly produced six of the tracks. She was also given half of the production credits on one track alongside Fred Zarr who produced the other four tracks. The album, like her first, contained mainly bubblegum-pop songs, though other, more mature styles were touched upon. "Electric Youth" spawned four singles, the first being the biggest charting single of her career—"Lost In Your Eyes," which held #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks. "Electric Youth", the album's title track, just missed the Top 10, reaching #11. "No More Rhyme" followed, ending its run at #17, and "We Could Be Together" charted at #71. In the USA, The album was certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA. This album sold over 10,000,000 copies worldwide.

Gibson promoted the album with "The Electric Youth World Tour" in 1989. She also had a fragrance of the same name manufactured by Natural Wonder.
