"Give Me The Night"' was released for the Tango Challenge and is the third single from Syd Wolfe's sophomore album Cry Wolfe. The track debuted at #10 on April 19, 2010. It rose to #8 the week after.
Song information[edit | edit source]
When the track was being sent out to radio stations, it came with a bio which read "It's what you'd expect from the two hottest females in the competition.
It's fun, it's frisky, it's flirty, it's fresh. It's an uptempo electropop masterpiece of epic proportions.
At an exhilarating 138 beats per minute, the synths and bass beats, if played loud enough, would be strong enough to knock you down. (Think "About A Girl" meets "3")"
It was written in its entirety by Syd Wolfe and April Stenson later wrote her own verses for the track.
Chart performance[edit | edit source]
The track spent 7 weeks in the top 40. Peaking at #8 in it's second week, but rapidly declining thereafter. The single eventually went on to sell just 135,197 and being certified silver.
It is the second worst charting and lowest selling Syd Wolfe single to date.
Music video[edit | edit source]
The music video was set in Syd City and was visually similar to Sin City.
The video showed the girls receiving a call from a mysterious "DJ" who had informed them that somebody had stolen the love song they "needed" to get through the night.
Syd & April then visit a nightclub and track down the person who stole the song. They eventually kill him and retrieve the love song.
The duo confirmed the video was meant to be very tongue in cheek and not meant to be taken seriously.
