This Is Your Night
Amber
"This Is Your Night" is a song recorded by Dutch singer Amber. It was released on 21 May 1996 as the lead single from her debut album, of the same name. The song is written by Amber and produced by the Berman Brothers and other programmers. In January 1996, a promotional version of this track was released to select Rhythmic Top 40 / dance radio stations in New York and Chicago. This version received minimal airplay before being replaced entirely with the now known "Original Edit," and was never released on any album or single. There has been an ongoing dispute between Amber and the Berman Brothers regarding the publishing shares on the title. The Berman Brothers had Amber write 98% of the lyrics and singing melody in a studio in Hamburg to a basic track and yet they claimed most of the publishing shares for the title. About 1,5 years in, after the release, they even changed her shares to only 6,6% behind her back, as they had added the title to their publishing company Shark Media.
"This Is Your Night" reached number one in Israel,[1] and had great success in many countries, particularly in Australia, Belgium, Japan, Lebanon, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Spain. It charted in the top 40 in the United States and gained further prominence after appearing in the 1998 American comedy film, A Night at the Roxbury. In the United States pop charts, "This Is Your Night" wound up only being in the 1996 Year-end chart, although peaking just over number 25 in 1997.
