"Marry the Night" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Lady Gaga for her second studio album, Born This Way (2011). The track was initially released for promotion on FarmVille, six days before the release of Born This Way. It was released as the fifth and final single from album on November 15, 2011, by Interscope Records. The song was written and produced by Gaga and Fernando Garibay, and was recorded on the tour bus during The Monster Ball Tour. Revealed in February 2011, "Marry the Night" was inspired by the energy of Gaga's previous songs like "Dance in the Dark" and love for her hometown, New York City. "Marry the Night" is a dance-pop and synthpop song influenced by electro rock and house music. The track features electronic church bells, a driving electro organ sound, techno beats and a funk rock influenced breakdown. The lyrics are a tribute to Gaga's love of the nightlife and partying, while serving as a homage to her hometown. "Marry the Night" received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised its grand and euphoric dance nature. They furthermore found influences of Italian disco music producer Giorgio Moroder and American rock musician Bruce Springsteen in the song. After the release of Born This Way, "Marry the Night" charted in some nations due to digital sales from the parent album. Gaga directed the music video, which was filmed in New York City. It tells the story of when she was signed by her label Interscope Records after being dropped from her former record label, Def Jam Recordings, with scenes in a clinic, a dance studio, her own New York apartment and on a car's rooftop at a parking lot. She sports outfits by Calvin Klein Collection, Yves Saint Laurent and Stéphane Rolland. Prior to its release, the music video was teased with video stills and previews. Critics wrote positively on the clip, deeming it creative and ambitious, while lauding its narrative theme. Gaga has performed the song at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards, The X Factor, and as the final song of her Born This Way Ball tour (2012–2013). She also recorded an acoustic version for her Thanksgiving Day special, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving.

[Verse 1] I'm gonna marry the night I won’t give up on my life I'm a warrior queen Live passionately tonight I'm gonna marry the dark Gonna make love to the stark I'm a soldier to my own emptiness I'm a winner I'm gonna marry the night I'm gonna marry the night I'm gonna marry the night [Chorus 1] I'm gonna marry the night I'm not gonna cry anymore I'm gonna marry the night Leave nothing on these streets to explore [Post-Chorus] Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry the night Oh, ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry the night [Verse 2] I'm gonna lace up my boots Throw on some leather and cruise Down the streets that I love In my fishnet gloves, I'm a sinner Then I'll go down to the bar But I won't cry anymore I'll hold my whiskey up high Kiss the bartender twice, I'm a loser I'm gonna marry the night I'm gonna marry the night [Chorus 1] I'm gonna marry the night I'm not gonna cry anymore I'm gonna marry the night Leave nothing on these streets to explore [Post-Chorus] Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry the night Oh, ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry the night [Bridge] Nothing's too cool to take me from you New York is not just a tan that you never lose Love is the new denim or black Skeleton guns are wedding bells in the attic Get Ginger ready, climb to El Camino front Won't poke holes in the seat with my heels Cause that's where we make love Come on run Turn the car on and run [Chorus 2] I'm gonna marry the night I'm gonna burn a hole in the road I'm gonna marry the night Leave nothing on these streets to explore [Post-Chorus] Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry the night Oh, ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry the night Oh, ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry Ma-ma-ma-marry the night [Outro] I'm gonna marry, marry I'm gonna marry, marry Marry C'mon, c'mon The night, the night, the night The night, the night, the night The night, the night, the night The night, the night, the night The night, the night, the night
