"Into the Nightlife" is a song by American singer Cyndi Lauper for her tenth studio album Bring Ya to the Brink (2008). It was written by Lauper, Peer Åström, Johan Bobäck and Max Martin, and produced by Lauper, Åström and Bobäck. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and on the Cashbox Top Dance Singles.[2] It became Lauper's first Australian chart single in fourteen years.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lauper says that the song title was inspired by Henry Miller's book Into the Night Life that inspired Lawrence Ferlinghetti's A Coney Island of the Mind, which inspired her to describe the images of nightlife in New York City.[3]
The single was released to UK radio stations early September 2008. As of August 2008, the song has sold 16,000 downloads in the United States.[4]
