"Night of My Life" is the title of the debut single for 2006 Australian Idol winner Damien Leith. This single was performed by the final two contestants - Leith and Jessica Mauboy - during the penultimate episode of Australian Idol 2006, and both contestants recorded and had their versions pressed by Sony BMG, ready for the winner's version to be released immediately after the competition.
After Leith won the competition on November 26, 2006, the song was available online through Bigpond Music; Bigpond is a major sponsor of Australian Idol. The single was released as a CD on November 28.The physical single will contain a copy of Leith's original song 'Come to Me', which can be streamed from his Myspace.
The single was written by Adam Reily and is the first of the winner’s singles to be penned by a local songwriter.
A music video was shot for the song on November 28. In less than 72 hours of "Night of My Life" being on sale, the single was certified Gold status.[1]. It has now remained at number one for two consecutive weeks. This single was the first Australian act to reach the #1 spot since Youth Group's, "Forever Young" in April 2006.
In Mid-December, Jessica Mauboy's version of the song was leaked online by a New Zealand website which released it for legal download, even though she did not win Australian Idol. Shortly after, it was removed due to the request of BMG, however it still remains for illegal download online.
