'"La Reina de la Noche"' '(The Queen of the Night)' is a dance-pop song by Venezuelan singer Mayr Martnez and the first single from her studio album of the same name, it was released on her official website on May 25, 2008.
Song information
The song is the first track from Martnez since she parted ways with previous label Sony BMG. It was written by William Luque (responsible for Menudo's and Chenoa's songs), produced by Jess Sanchez, and it samples Mozart's opera The Magic Flute. The lyrics and music are also partly based on the character 'The Queen of the Night' from the same opera, and it marks a change from Mayre's typical pop ballad and tropical songs to a futuristic dance style.
