Misc="Into the Nightlife" is a song written by Cyndi Lauper, Peer Åström, Johan Bobäck and Max Martin, and produced by Lauper, Åström and Bobäck, for Lauper's tenth studio album "Bring Ya to the Brink." It peaked at 1# on the U.S "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play and on the "Cashbox" Top Dance Singles [ [http://cashboxmagazine.com/dispwksing.aspx?id=66&time=105 - CASHBOX Magazine Top Dance Singles ] ] . 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.
