"This Is My Night" was written by Mic Murphy and David Frank and produced by Arif Mardin.

A variation of the song was used by HBO as its theme music for Next On bumpers and promos from May to November 1985 (as the centerpiece of the Make the Magic Shine campaign). The song was used as a lipsynch song in the twelfth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, in a battle between drag queens Widow Von'Du and Jan Sport, while Chaka Khan served as a guest judge.
