"Waiting for the Night" is a song recorded by Canadian recording artist Nelly Furtado. It was written by Furtado and co-written and produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins for her fifth studio album, The Spirit Indestructible. Lyrically, the song is about Furtado having a crush on a boy and was inspired by a diary she kept as a sixteen-year-old on a summer vacation on São Miguel Island, Portugal.
"Waiting for the Night" received generally favorable reviews. Music critics praised the song for being catchy and having a memorable chorus.[citation needed] Some even noted similarities to Jennifer Lopez's single of almost the same name. Upon release, the song charted in some European countries, such as Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Furtado promoted the song on NRJ Stars for Free and on The Voice of Germany. A music video for the song was released on January 8, 2013. It features Furtado in half-face makeup, doing sultry noirish swaying with zombie dancers.
