"'The Weekend'" is a song by British DJ Michael Gray, featuring vocals from English singer Shna. It was released in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2004 and peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart, topped the UK and Hungarian dance charts, and reached the top 20 in several other countries, including Australia, Italy, and the Netherlands. A music video directed by Mike Harris was made for the song.
Composition
"The Weekend" contain in the hook a sample from "Back at Ya" by American group Kerr, who was completely replayed at Scorccio Sample Replays. The track also uses the lyric "I can't wait for Saturday to begin" from the 1983 song "Get Down Saturday Night" by American singer Oliver Cheatham, changing "Saturday" to "the weekend". Cheatham is credited as co-writer, accordingly.
