"We Are the Night" is a song by the South Korean idol group MYNAME. It was written by Greg Bonnick, Leon Price, Hayden Chapman, Charley Greenberg, Dan "Tekneek" Wayne, Cody Williams, and Carlos PenaVega, with re-translated lyrics by Se-yong and additional production by Hiro.[1] It was released as the fourth advance single from the group's debut album WE ARE MYNAME, on February 6, 2013.[2]

Co-written by Big Time Rush member Carlos PenaVega, the song was originally created and recorded for the band's own studio album Elevate in 2011. After it went unused, the song was presumably sold to the Japanese label YM3D, who offered it for MYNAME to record.[3]

Background[]

Big Time Rush wrote and recorded over 50 songs for their second album, at least 30 of which they helped co-write themselves.[4] Carlos PenaVega co-wrote "We Are the Night" with Cody Williams, Dan "Tekneek" Wayne, and Charley Greenberg in late March 2011.[5][6][7] The full band later recorded vocals on June 21, 2011, during a studio session with Tekneek in Los Angeles, California.[8][9] The track was produced by Greg Bonnick and Leon Price of the production duo Agent X,[10][11] with additional vocal production handled by Chris Rojas.[12]

Lyrics[]

So, let’s dance
Mou sude ni toriko ja nai?
Cuz we are the night
Koushite You and me
Deatta Destiny
Cuz we are the night

Maku wa agatta bakari dayo
Hora Show no hajimari dayo
Drop the beat shita shunkan ni
floor kara tsutawaru nda your love

So, turn it up Let’s burn it up
Ya na koto zenbu wasurete
Makasete yo bokura no
Message uketometara

So, let’s dance
Mou sude ni toriko ja nai?
Cuz we are the night
Koushite You and me
Deatta Destiny
Cuz we are the night

We are the night

Sorezore no iro ga kagayakidashi
Goiro no hikari wo hanatsu
Tell me, what’s your NAME?
Kikareru mae ni kimi wo miryou suru

So, turn it up Let’s burn it up
Ya na koto zenbu wasurete
Makasete yo bokura no
Message uketometara
So let’s dance
Mou sude ni toriko ja nai?
Cuz we are the night
Koushite You and me
Deatta Destiny
Cuz we are the night

We are the night

Don’t touch me, young boy uso ja nai
Mou gaman dekinai douse
Tomerarenai we are the night

So, let’s dance
Mou sude ni toriko ja nai?
Cuz we are the night
Koushite You and me
Deatta Destiny
Cuz we are the night

So, let’s dance
Mou sude ni toriko ja nai?
Cuz we are the night
Koushite You and me
Deatta Destiny
Cuz we are the night
