lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1 — Male]
I saw you standing in the amber light
Your white dress turning softly with the night
I reached my hand across the crowded room
You took it, and the world began to move
Your eyes met mine; the rhythm changed its pace
I felt the welcome written on your face
No need for words to tell me what you knew
The first beat brought my heart to you
[Pre-Chorus — Male]
Let the drums speak
Let the lights fall
I can feel you
Through it all
[Chorus — Duet]
Different shades, one flame
Two hearts calling out the same
When you move and I move too
All the night belongs to me and you
Different worlds, one sky
Two sparks burning side by side
Let them see what love can do
One flame, shining through
[Post-Chorus — Duet]
One flame, one flame
I’m coming close to you
One flame, one flame
The night is ours to choose
[Instrumental Groove]
[Verse 2 — Female]
Your deep brown eyes held a steady glow
You drew me near, then let the moment slow
Your voice was warm against the rising sound
I felt my guarded heart come unwound
The room could see the colours of our skin
But only we could feel the world within
Your hand in mine, the rhythm strong and true
I found a different kind of home in you
[Pre-Chorus — Female]
Let the drums speak
Let the lights fall
I can feel you
Through it all
[Chorus — Duet]
Different shades, one flame
Two hearts calling out the same
When you move and I move too
All the night belongs to me and you
Different worlds, one sky
Two sparks burning side by side
Let them see what love can do
One flame, shining through
[Dance Break]
[Bridge — Male and Female]
[Male] If they look, let them look
[Female] We know what we have found
[Male] Your hand is here in mine
[Female] Our hearts are beating loud
[Duet]
No line can hold us
No shade can divide
We found our own rhythm
On the same side
[Final Chorus — Duet]
Different shades, one flame
Two hearts calling out the same
When you move and I move too
All the night belongs to me and you
Different worlds, one sky
Two sparks burning side by side
Let them see what love can do
One flame, shining through
[Outro — Duet]
One flame, one flame
I’m coming close to you
Different shades, one flame
The night is ours to choose
[Verse 1 — Male]
I saw you standing in the amber light
Your white dress turning softly with the night
I reached my hand across the crowded room
You took it, and the world began to move
Your eyes met mine; the rhythm changed its pace
I felt the welcome written on your face
No need for words to tell me what you knew
The first beat brought my heart to you
[Pre-Chorus — Male]
Let the drums speak
Let the lights fall
I can feel you
Through it all
[Chorus — Duet]
Different shades, one flame
Two hearts calling out the same
When you move and I move too
All the night belongs to me and you
Different worlds, one sky
Two sparks burning side by side
Let them see what love can do
One flame, shining through
[Post-Chorus — Duet]
One flame, one flame
I’m coming close to you
One flame, one flame
The night is ours to choose
[Instrumental Groove]
[Verse 2 — Female]

The night is ours to choose
音乐风格
Passionate romantic Afro House with organic house influences, 122 BPM. A clear male and female vocal duet telling the story of a dark-skinned African man and a white European woman falling deeply in love. Male singer: warm, rich African vocal tone with a distinct, natural African English accent. Female singer: expressive European vocal tone with a clear, natural European English accent. Make both voices easy to distinguish and keep their accents consistent throughout. Male lead in verse one, female lead in verse two, both singing together in the chorus. Soulful, intimate, sensual delivery with strong chemistry. Deep rolling bass, hypnotic African percussion, layered hand drums, crisp shakers, warm organic textures, subtle marimba and kalimba, atmospheric synth pads. Begin tender and intimate, then build into a fiery, joyful dancefloor groove. No exaggerated accents, no solo vocalist, no rap, no spoken intro, no EDM-pop drop.
