In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lauper says that the song title was inspired by Henry Miller's book Into the Night Life that inspired Lawrence Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of the Mind, which inspired her to describe the images of nightlife in New York City.[3]

The single was released to UK radio stations early September 2008. As of August 2008, the song has sold 16,000 downloads in the U.S.[4] It has had over 250,000 plays on the Last.fm by more than 31.000 users.

Music video

The music video for the song which was directed by Lauper herself and produced by 44 Productions was partly filmed at Splash Bar in New York City on 20 May 2008. Fans were invited to come be extras in the video.[5]

Ari Gold and Colton Ford appear in the video dancing behind Lauper in the night club. Lucas Silveira appears kissing an unidentified woman in the club.

gollark: Yes it does. It can help distinguish people by showing you who uses the language frequently and who doesn't.
gollark: Anyway, more generally, you need to know the idioms of a language to know if someone *else* does.
gollark: Since basically all the JS I've seen uses the second one.
gollark: If I saw the top one (and it wasn't in an event like this where everyone will second-guess everything) I would assume that it was written by someone who used C(++) a lot.
gollark: e.g. if you have some JS code, and you see that the author used ```javascriptfunction deployBee(){}```brackets and not```javascriptfunction deployBee() {}```ones, you need to know a bit about what JS code normally looks like to infer anything like that.
