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.

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.
