“Another Night” is a song by German Eurodance and pop music project Real McCoy (also known as M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy), released in 1993 in July Europe and later in 1994 in the United States. It became one of the biggest dance hits of the 1990s, blending Eurodance, pop, and house music into an infectious, high-energy track.
The song features a signature contrast between male rap verses and female sung choruses, a common formula in Eurodance music. Patricia “Patsy” Petersen provides the dreamy, melodic vocals, while the deep-voiced rap sections were originally performed by O-Jay (Olaf Jeglitza). Lyrically, “Another Night” is about longing and romantic obsession, with the narrator dreaming about being with someone they can’t have in reality.
Musically, the song is driven by pulsating synths, a fast-paced beat, and a hypnotic hook, making it a club and radio favorite. Its upbeat, dancefloor-friendly production helped it dominate charts and airwaves worldwide.
In the United States, the song was a massive success, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming one of the most recognizable Eurodance anthems of the decade. It also reached No. 1 in Canada, Australia and on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart. It also performed well across Europe.
