"Generation of Love" is a song recorded by German band Masterboy. It was released in June 1995 and is taken from their album of the same name. The female vocals are performed by Trixi Delgado. The song is one of the band's most successful singles in terms of peak positions on the charts. It achieved success in many European countries, particularly in Finland, where it peaked at number 6 and in France, where it peaked at number 8 and stayed on the chart (top-50) for 13 weeks. The song was also a hit in Austria and in Belgium (Wallonia), where it remained ranked in the top-40 for 18 weeks. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Generation of Love" reached number 35. In 2006, it was re-released in a remixed version with Freedom Williams and Linda Rocco in featuring, but was much less successful. This version is included on Masterboy's 2006 studio album US-Album. The artwork of the remixes used the same picture, but with different colours (red, blue, gray).
