[Intro] short bright disco-rock intro, electric guitar hook, tight bass pulse, clean synthetic drums [Verse 1] [emotional male vocal, wounded but hopeful, lower register, sparse guitar and synth background] Red cup in my hand Friends lost in the crowd Bass shakes through my chest I can’t hear my doubts Your eyes lock on mine Flash like warning lights We don’t say a word We just jump on time [Pre-Chorus] [female vocal enters softly, electric violin answers, tension rising, bass becomes thicker] Every heartbeat Faster Faster All our problems Fade to vapor Are you with me? Say you’re with me ’Cause it’s ’bout to blow [Chorus] [male vocal jumps into expressive falsetto hook strong accent on: “Hit the night Hit the night (hey!)” female vocal supports with bright harmony full dance-rock groove, brass stabs, guitar hook, wide stereo lift] Hit the night Hit the night (hey!) Like we’re breaking through the sky Every stomp Footwork Blowing all the edges out Hit the night Hit the night ’Til the morning kills the highs If we burn Let us burn We’ll just dance and never learn [Drop] (hit the night, hit the night, hit the—whoa) [sharp synth stab hook and vocal chops riff on “hit the night”] [Verse 2] [male and female dialogue, more color, cello counter-melody, rhythmic brass support] Sweat drips down your neck Glitter on your face We move out of sync Still the perfect pace Phone lost Don’t need it Clock gone Just leave it All we’ve got is now So don’t you slow it down (oh yeah) [Pre-Chorus] [female vocal enters softly, electric violin answers, tension rising, bass becomes thicker] Every heartbeat Faster Faster All our stories Fall like paper Are you with me? Say you’re with me ’Cause I need to know [Chorus] [bigger than first chorus, falsetto male hook, female harmony, stronger bass and claps] Hit the night Hit the night (hey!) Like we’re breaking through the sky Every stomp Every shout Blowing all the edges out Hit the night Hit the night ’Til the morning kills the highs If we burn Let us burn We’ll just dance and never learn [Instrumental Break] [electric guitar and electric violin improvisation, cello underneath, no muddy layers[ [Drop] (hit the night, hit the night, hit the—whoa) [final drop with extra layered hits and crowd chants on “hit the night”]
