"My First Night Without You" is the second single released from Cyndi Lauper's third album A Night To Remember (1989).

Song information

The ballad is about coming home for the first time without a partner being there after a break up. The video clip is also about this, with Lauper coming home after a long day at work to an empty room after a separation. The song was written by Lauper, Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg. The latter two also wrote "True Colors" and "I Drove All Night".

Its B-side was "Unabbreviated Love". The song is a fan favorite; Lauper performed it many times on her A Night to Remember tour in 1989.

To promote the single, promotional posters were sent to different malls and music stores that sold the single when it was originally released.

The single failed to make a big impact on most global charts. It did do moderately well in Chile however. And also, it achieved #1 in the Radio Cidade from São Paulo, Brazil. In Colombia, the single was #1 for 10 weeks.

Music video

The video for "My First Night Without You", released in 1989, was one of the first to be closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.
