We Own The Night Lyrics

[Verse 1: Selena Gomez]
Is it alright if I'm with you for the night? (Night)
Hope you don't mind if you stay by my side (My side)

[Pre-Chorus: Selena Gomez]
We can drive in your car, somewhere into the dark
Pull over and watch the stars (Oh, oh, oh)
We can dance, we can sing, do whatever you think
As long as I'm with you

[Chorus: Selena Gomez & Pixie Lott]
When we are together, it's the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we like
Spend the weekend dancing, 'cause we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)

[Verse 2: Selena Gomez]
It's all a blur
It's getting late, but I don’t care (I don’t care)
I don't know where we'll end up and that's okay

[Pre-Chorus: Selena Gomez]
We can drive in your car, somewhere into the dark
Pull over and watch the stars
We can dance, we can sing, do whatever you think
As long as I'm with you (Whatever you think)
[Chorus: Selena Gomez & Pixie Lott]
When we are together, it's the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we like
Spend the weekend dancing, 'cause we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)

[Bridge: Selena Gomez & Pixie Lott]
Nothing lasts forever
Let's live it up when we're together
Nothing lasts forever
So let's live it up, just do whatever
(Do whatever, do whatever, do whatever)

[Breakdown: Selena Gomez & Pixie Lott]
When we are together, it's the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we like
Spend the weekend dancing, 'cause we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night!

[Chorus: Selena Gomez & Pixie Lott]
When we are together, it's the time of our lives
We can do whatever, be whoever we like
Spend the weekend dancing, 'cause we sleep when we die
Don't have to worry about nothing
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)
We own the night! (Ah-ah-oh...)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

According to Songfacts, this song was written by the British singer-songwriter Pixie Lott, whose hit singles in her native country include the chart-toppers “Mama Do” and “Boys and Girls.”
Selena told MTV News this is her mom’s favorite song:

It’s very sweet. It’s kind of a ballad, but not really. It’s basically about living in the moment; it’s about enjoying right now. I’m very much enjoying right now. I’m in a good place.

Some of Pixie Lott’s vocals from her original demo were kept as backing for Selena’s version.

It made the album because of my mom. Then I became crazy obsessed with it because it’s a beautiful song. It was really fun to sing. I love Pixie Lott. I think she’s incredible and talented. She co-wrote the song with Toby Gad.
