"Summer Nights" is the second single from Ana Simpson in Australia and third in Brazil. The song is taken from Simpson's second studio album Intensive Ground. EMI Australia decided to release "Summer Nights" as the second single is the country due to the fact that it would be appropriate with its summer season. Simpson's label in Brazil Universal decided to follow Australia's idea and release it in Brazil as well.
Release[edit | edit source]
Originally, Simpson planned to release "Turnaround" worldwide as the second single. However, as in the southern hemisphere it's the summer season, Simpson's Australia and Brazilian labels decided to release a ballad with a summer-ish feeling during the season. The song received radio adds in Australia in the weekend of September 26, 2009. In Brazil the song will go for adds in October.
Promotion[edit | edit source]
Even though the single was also released in Brazil, Simpson did not have time to travel to the country to do any sort of promotion, however the music video for the single was premiere on MTV Brazil and Multishow on October 10, 2009.
In Australia, Simpson stopped by morning show Today on October 5th, to discuss her first tour and to talk about her new single. The music video was premiere on ABC's Rage on October 12th, soon after Vh1, Channel V and MTV Australia added the video to their playlist.
Music Video[edit | edit source]
The music video was shot September 17th and 18th in Gotland, Sweden. The music video had its TV World Premiere on MTV Brazil October 10th.
The music video opens with Simpson, and a guy “her boyfriend” waking up at the beach. Simpson looks kind of concerned, as the guy wraps his arms around her. The video goes back in time and shows Simpson and this guy sitting by the fire at the beach the night before. They are kissing and making out, until the guy gets a text message which says "please call me once you get this. I miss you and I love you". Simpson reads the text as the guy is sleeping, she ignores it and lies beside him. Throughout the night, Ana keeps on thinking about the text and has flashbacks of nights she spent with this guy. It's morning (goes back to the beginning), Simpson wakes up and her "boyfriend" puts his arms around her. Simpson pushes him away with a sad face and a teary eyed and says no. She takes his cell phone from her pocket and tosses at him, as gets up and walks away...
