"You Can Make History (Young Again)" is a song by English musician Elton John, initially recorded in 1996 and released on the American version of the compilation Love Songs. As the song was recorded after the release of the original European version of the compilation (released in late 1995), it was not included on that version.
Lyrically, the song talks of a lover who makes one feel young again, and is said to have been written about David Furnish, with whom Elton began a relationship in 1993. The single included two tracks: a version of the song with its characteristic sitar (which can be heard at the beginning and end of the song), and one without (effectively an acoustic mix).
