Night of Your Life (feat. Jennifer Hudson)

The third promotional single from David Guetta's fifth studio album, Nothing But The Beat, is a trance track. However, rather than featuring a breathy chanteuse, as is usual for the genre, big-voiced Broadway singer Jennifer Hudson supplies the vocals. "Obviously she's an amazing singer, can do anything with her voice, but it's more a matter of specific things with this type of music to keep the energy up," Guetta told Billboard magazine. "I like surprising the listeners as well as the artists themselves."

Guetta told MTV News that recording this track with Hudson proved particularly satisfying. "I was in the studio with her," the French hitmaker said. "To be honest, I didn't know her so well, but I had heard her voice and I fell in love with it. It's a difficult song. You need a really big voice to be able to perform that song. I was like, 'Whoa!' She obviously has an amazing voice, and I think it was a really interesting exercise for her and for me.

I always love to take singers and take them out of their boxes, and to come with a dance song with her was really exciting. She is beautiful in every way: as a person, as a singer, as a human being. She delivered like crazy."
