| Lyrics: | Tonight is the night Time is right No it’s not too late A new state of mind Its our time Gonna celebrate The world’s in our hands Take a chance Got to live it up The beat is going strong Bring it on Can’t get enough People of all color Not just black and white Everybody’s dancing A beautiful sight My head is spinning crazy In these dizzy lights Don’t you know tonight is the night? Tonight is the night To lose control Tonight is the night Let’s raise our hands high Tonight is the night Here’s an invitation Every nation All the pretty girls And guys in the club Come on up Represent the world Paris, Rio, Shanghai Nigeria to Rome Dubai, Mumbai, Chennai LA to Tokyo We’re gonna have a party Steal the spotlight Don’t you know tonight is the night? Repeat Chorus Bridge Tonight is the night To make our dreams come true It’s up to me It’s up to you It’s in the air so Hold me tight Don’t you know tonight is the night? Repeat Chorus (2x) By Aarthi Kumar & Dave Tough |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
