The verses of the song contain big electronic breaks, and heavy drums, before the chorus "stomps" and "claps" and features virtually no drums. The track is said to draw from electronic rock and pop-rock genres, although the track has not been heard yet. Co-producer Benny Blanco described the track as "old hippie rock." On Ke$ha's official website, the opening picture is a .gif which is suspected to be the chorus lyrics of "Die Young". "Let's make the most of the night. Like were gonna Die Young."

Controversy
The day after the Newtown shooting in Connecticut transpired, the song was pulled from some radio stations, causing a controversial online message with "Not Your Fault Kesha" trending on social networking site Twitter. The track, which features the lyrics "like we're gonna die young", was refused airplay by certain radio stations because of the inappropriate nature of the song due to the school shooting. The withdrawal sent out a mixed response online. Ke$ha stated on Twitter how sorry she was for the controversial message of the song. She went on to say that she was "forced" to sing the song.
Lyrics
[Chorus]:
I hear your heartbeat to the beat of the drums.
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone.
So while you’re here in my arms,
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
We’re gonna die young.
We’re gonna die young.
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
[Verse 1]:
Young hearts, out our minds,
Runnin' 'till we out of time.
Wild childs, lookin' good,
Livin' hard, just like we should.
[Hook]:
Don’t care who’s watchin' when we tearin' it up (you know).
That magic that we got that nobody can touch (fosho).
Lookin' for some trouble tonight (yeah).
Take my hand, I’ll show you the wild side,
Like it’s the last night of our lives (uh huh).
We’ll keep dancin' ‘till we die.
[Chorus]:
I hear your heartbeat to the beat of the drums.
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone.
So while you’re here in my arms,
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
We’re gonna die young.
We’re gonna die young.
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
[Verse 2]:
Young punks, taking shots,
Strippin' down to dirty socks.
Music up, gettin' hot,
Kiss me, give you all you got.
It’s pretty obvious that you got a crush (you know).
That magic in your pants is makin' me blush (fosho).
[Hook]:
Lookin' for some trouble tonight (yeah).
Take my hand, I’ll show you the wild side.
Like it’s the last night of our lives (uh huh).
We’ll keep dancin' ‘till we die.
('Till we die, die, die, die, die, die, die)
[Chorus]:
I hear your heartbeat to the beat of the drums.
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone.
So while you’re here in my arms,
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
[Chorus]:
I hear your heartbeat to the beat of the drums.
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone.
So while you’re here in my arms,
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
We’re gonna die young.
We're gonna die young.
Like we’re gonna die young.
Let’s make the most of the night,
Like we’re gonna die young.
