"This Is My Night" was written by Mic Murphy and David Frank and produced by Arif Mardin.
A variation of the song was used by HBO as its theme music for Next On bumpers and promos from May to November 1985 (as the centerpiece of the Make the Magic Shine campaign). It also appeared on the twelfth season of the drag competition series RuPaul's Drag Race, in a "lip sync battle" between contestants Widow Von'Du and Jan, while Khan served as a guest judge.
