創作背景
《The Night is Still Young》創作靈感來源於吃喝玩樂的夜店生活,並受到迪斯科流行樂的啟發,作為《The Pinkprint》第六主打單曲發行的計畫由共和唱片籌劃,替代了《Truffle Butter》( Young Money娛樂Cash Money唱片的打算),因此該曲亦導致《Truffle Butter》原本預定拍攝的音樂視頻落空。該歌曲創作並錄製於2014年,製作由該曲的創作者Dr. Luke和瑟卡特處理 。
歌曲歌詞
英文
Yo, ayo tonight is the night that I'ma get twisted
Myx Moscato and vodka, I'ma mix it
Roll that spaceship, we about to get lifted
Lift and the President gift is for the gifted
This what you came, this what you came for
You get what you buy, this what you paid for
So make sure the stars is what you aim for
Make mistakes though
I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we
Ayo, drinks on you or the drinks is on me
We ain't going nowhere like tanks is on E
We still getting money, which bank is it gonna be?
If he sexy, he planking on me
So when them big boys want all of that
Tell the bartender, say my order back
It's bottle service, he ordered that
Might let him take it home and slaughter that
He got friends for all of my friends
They ain't leaving 'till we say when
And we gon' hangover the next day
But we will remember this day
So drop the pop and get low
Or we can drop the top and just cruise
We fresh to death, down to the shoes
My only motto in my life is don't lose
I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
So are we
We're just getting started yeah yeah
We're just getting started yeah yeah
Can't you see the night's still early
And we gon' get wild and crazy
We're just getting started yeah yeah
We're just getting started yeah yeah
Can't you see the night's still early
And we gon' get wild and crazy
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
So are we
How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by
How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by
譯文
今夜我們不眠狂歡
借酒澆愁,暢飲無緒
載歌載舞,嗨翻全場
活在當下,留住自己的好時光
別忘了你來這兒是為了什麼
別忘了今夜的你應該做什麼
我們固然有遠大志向
而今晚也需好好放縱一回
人生就像一場旅行
我享受這旅途的每一分一秒
為何不放慢急迫的腳步
把握點滴,珍惜精彩
夜未央
燈初上
意正歡
人未老
嘿,飲料算你的還是我的頭上
我們哪兒也不去,就當油箱已空
財源滾滾,姐該存哪個銀行
性感的鮮肉,我要與你胸背相貼
想要什麼儘管說
告訴前台老娘奉陪到底
想要的都給你
何不帶回家好好享受
儘管帶上你的朋友
來了就別想溜走因為我說了算
我們不醉不歸
這將會是你最難忘的時刻
扔掉你手裡的汽水,加入瘋狂的舞池
或是坐上敞篷車,我們一起去兜風
我們從頭到腳都是那么光鮮亮麗
別讓任何人左右你的人生
派對才正要開始
狂熱已四處蔓延
人生得意須盡歡
是時候恣意行樂
大好時光
豈可辜負
人生苦短
為歡幾何
歌曲鑑賞
《The Night Is Still Young》濃重的流行夜店風格是猶如Ke$ha的執筆、《Moment 4 Life》和《Starships》的姐妹作,與《Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded》專輯曲風對比彰著 。一改僵硬的饒舌嘻哈格調,搭配富有節奏感的電音流行。在音樂結構上,《The Night Is Still Young》以E大調為關鍵所在,內部設有約每分鐘124次的節拍樂器。作為錄唱歌手,妮琪·米娜的音域位於C♯4至C♯5 。
歌曲MV
《The Night Is Still Young》的音樂視頻於2015年3月在美國洛杉磯的市中心拍攝,由漢娜·力士·戴維斯執導拍攝。在音樂視頻中,一身粉紅裝扮的妮琪·米娜與日本女舞者共舞一番後,離開舞廳進行一段說唱。城市裡朝氣蓬勃的年輕人被一輪碩大無朋的滿月所吸引,並相互聯繫,一窩蜂地聚集在一起同歡共樂 。
