Which 1978 Alicia Bridges song has the repeated title line 'I love the nightlife'?

The 1978 Alicia Bridges song with the repeated title line “I love the nightlife” is “I Love the Nightlife.”

The song’s full title is often given as “I Love the Nightlife (Disco ’Round).” Alicia Bridges co-wrote and recorded it with Susan Hutcheson, and it became the first single from Bridges’ self-titled debut album. Released in June 1978, it crossed from dance clubs into mainstream pop, reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

Its writing began after Bridges noticed that contemporary hits frequently used dance-oriented words such as “disco” and “boogie.” The original concept was “Disco ’Round,” which became the subtitle. Bridges reportedly hoped the recording would be heard as a soul-influenced song rather than simply categorized as disco, but its energetic chorus made it a lasting dance-floor favorite.

The wording can cause minor confusion because the song is listed under both “I Love the Nightlife” and “I Love the Nightlife (Disco ’Round)” in reference works and music catalogs. Those titles refer to the same Alicia Bridges recording, not separate songs. “Last Dance” and “Boogie Wonderland” are different disco-era hits by different artists.
