“My First Night Without You” was the second single from the “A Night To Remember” album. It reached a disappointing 62 on the US Billboart Hot 100 the week of August 26, 1989.
The song is about coming home for the first time without a partner being there after a break up. It was written by Lauper, Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg. The latter two also wrote “True Colors” and “I Drove All Night“.
The track was produced by Lauper and Lennie Petze. It was remixed for the single by Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero, who also worked on remixes for big names like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and George Michael.
The remix has an overall more pop feel to it as well as greater ambience, compared to the album version. As usually found on radio remixes in those days, many synth sounds were brought upfront and given wider channel separation. The structure of the remix is the same as that of its album counterpart, the original length preserved. (there probably was no need to make it shorter, the album version clocked in at barely 3 minutes, short enough for radio)
This Sounds Familiar!
The intro of the song recalls Ben E. King’s 1961 hit “Stand By Me”. (click here to listen)
