"Night of My Life" is the title of the debut single for 2006 Australian Idol winner Damien Leith. This single was performed by the final two contestants - Leith and Jessica Mauboy - during the penultimate episode of Australian Idol 2006, and both contestants recorded and had their versions pressed by Sony BMG, ready for the winner's version to be released immediately after the competition.
After Leith won the competition on 26 November 2006, the song was available online through Bigpond Music; Bigpond is a major sponsor of Australian Idol. The single was released as a CD on 28 November. The physical single contained a copy of Leith's original song "Come to Me", which can be streamed from his Myspace.
The single was written by Adam Reily and is the first of the winner’s singles to be penned by a local songwriter.
A music video was shot for the song on 28 November. In less than 72 hours of "Night of My Life" being on sale, the single was certified Gold status.. The single debuted at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart on 3 December, while certified Platinum after one week of sales. It was the fastest selling debut single for 2006, and was the most added song to radio. This single was the first Australian act to reach the #1 spot since Youth Group's, "Forever Young" in April 2006. It remained at number one for five consecutive weeks. Despite being released at the end of 2006, the single's strong sales placed "Night of My Life" at number eleven in the 2006 End of Year Top 100 ARIA Singles Chart.

Eric Marlon Bishop (born December 13, 1967), professionally known as Jamie Foxx, is an American actor, singer-songwriter, rapper, stand-up comedian, and talk radio host who began playing the piano when he was five years old. As an actor, his work in the film Ray earned him the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actor as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a musical/comedy. He is also a Grammy Award winning musician, producing three albums which have charted highly on the Billboard 200: Unpredictable, which topped the chart, Best Night of My Life and Intuition.
Born in Terrell, Texas, Foxx was raised by his mother's adoptive parents. He performed in high school and was awarded with a scholarship to United States International University. In his twenties, Foxx began performing stand-up at comedy clubs, and eventually joined the cast of In Living Color in 1991; this exposure helped him land film roles and star in his own sitcom, The Jamie Foxx Show. He released his debut album, Peep This, in 1994, but he did not gain significant musical success until 2004 when he was featured in Twista's song "Slow Jamz". Also in 2004, Foxx played critically acclaimed roles in the films Collateral and Ray. He released his second album, Unpredictable, in 2005, which was helped by his collaboration on Kanye West's number-one single "Gold Digger". His third album Intuition was released in 2008 and was anchored by the single "Blame It". Foxx released his fourth studio album, Best Night of My Life, in 2010.
I'm feeling good, I'm having fun
This is the best night of my life
Girl, can I be real?
I just wanna feel on your booty, that's not a big deal
Shawty, you drinkin' on that Martini
I wanna see you in a bikini
Or better yet a thong, baby, what's wrong?
Tryin' ta tell your girls that's the purpose of this song
Ooh, I want you closer
You like a model of a poster
I wanna get ya to the car, to the crib up the stairs, to the bed
In the morning you'll be cooking us set
Ooh baby, I love the smell of your perfume
And if we were kids, I'd be breaking curfew
To stay up with you
You gon' need a scarf
Wrap your head 'cause it's gon' get wild
If we keep lovin' like this we might make a child
A daughter, a son, whichever one, girl, you're second to none
I'm feeling good, I'm having fun
This is the best night of my life
We off the Patron and both of us gone
Girl, this gon' be the best night of my life
You could've been anywhere in the world
But you're right here with me, girl
And if we go home and make love
This could be the best night of your life
So girl, let me ask you a question while we're sipping Bud
Are you going home with me after the club
That's a yes or a no, I'm just letting ya know
Where this night can go
And girl, I'm hoping you see things my way
'Cause I just want your love to stay
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I could be your bartender, tell me what you're sippin' on
Girl, I'm not a travel agent, so what you trippin' on?
You say I think I could make it happen 'cause I'm famous
Nah, I'm just tryin' ta get it cracking 'cause we faded
Get you to my crib, spend some time alone
Barely over 21, that mean you kinda grown
Um and I'm tat, tat, tatted up, come out to that bread
I'ma stack it up, where you born, baby girl, back it up
You gon' need a scarf
Wrap your head 'cause it's gon' get wild
If we keep lovin' like this we might make a child
A daughter, a son, whichever one, girl, you're second to none
I'm feeling good, I'm having fun
This is the best night of my life
We off the Patron and both of us gone
Girl, this gon' be the best night of my life
You could've been anywhere in the world
But you're right here with me, girl
And if we go home and make love
