==Background and release== German electronic music duo Jam & Spoon was formed in 1991 in Frankfurt,<ref>{{cite book|title=The Virgin Encyclopedia of Nineties Music|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=Virgin Books|date=2000|edition=First|isbn=0-7535-0427-8|page=203}}</ref> consisting of composers and producers Rolf Ellmer (a.k.a. Jam El Mar, classically trained composer) and Markus Löffel (a.k.a. Mark Spoon, DJ). They had their first hit with the 1992 song "Stella", which was widely played, remixed and bootlegged in the dance club community for years after its release. The pair also remixed the singles "The Age of Love" and "Go". But their biggest commercial success came in 1993 with "Right in the Night". It is based on a piece that El Mar used to play as a guitarist, "Leyenda" by the classical composer Isaac Albéniz.<ref name="musikxpress">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6waco1cB5K4|title=The story behind "Jam & Spoon feat. Plavka - Right In The Night" by Jam El Mar|work=Muzikxpress|publisher=YouTube|date=11 February 2023|access-date=1 November 2024}}</ref> To make it fit into the new song, El Mar had to compose some additional notes. "Right in the Night" originally was an instrumental track, but after their record company CBS Sony Music demanded a single release for the radio, the duo agreed to do something to the track and add a vocal.<ref name="musikxpress"/> Mark Spoon looked into his notebook and found the number to American singer Plavka who he met at the first Love Parade. In an interview, El Mar told about how the duo found Plavka, "Mark Spoon knew Plavka from the very first Love Parade. He was clever enough to ask for her number so, when we were about to record "Right in the Night", he opened his magic book of secret telephone numbers."<ref>{{cite book|first= Juha |last= Soininen |title= Move Your Body (2 The 90's): Unlimited Eurodance |publisher= BoD – Books on Demand |date= 26 August 2020 |page= 33 |isbn= 9789528026303 |access-date= 12 March 2022 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=_WD5DwAAQBAJ}}</ref>
German songwriter and producer Nosie Katzmann wrote the lyrics for the song and Jam & Spoon called Plavka and invited her to their studio in Frankfurt. While recording the vocals, she had a hangover since she had been out at a club the night before. But the duo was very satisfied with the result.<ref name="musikxpress"/> In the 2017 book ''Stars of 90's Dance Pop: 29 Hitmakers Discuss Their Careers'' by James Arena, Katzmann told, "I always felt "Right in the Night" was one of the best songs I've ever written, but the record company and A&R people who came to my place to listen to new songs for the project just thought of "Right" as being average. Some other individuals from A&R asked, "Where's the hook—the punchline?" I really hated to play the song for the record company, and a week before it came out I thought for sure it would be a flop because the label people just didn't hear the hit in it. And just like most times, the label people were wrong."<ref>{{cite book|last=Arena|first=James|title=Stars of 90's Dance Pop: 29 Hitmakers Discuss Their Careers|year=2017|publisher=McFarland & Company, Inc.|location=Jefferson, North Carolina}}</ref> Regarding the lyrics of the song, Spoon demanded in an interview with ''Melody Maker'' in January 1994, "Listen to the lyrics. They say something. It's about psychologically ill people falling in love with music. It can't solve your problems, but it certainly helps."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Ben|last=Turner|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/53071332994/|title=Spoon Fed|magazine=Melody Maker|date=29 January 1994|page=37|access-date=3 August 2023}}</ref>
After being released in Europe in 1993, the single was released in the US in late May 1994 with remixes by Marc "MK" Kinchen.<ref name="billboard1994"/> In 2013, the song was released in a new remix, by Jam & Spoon vs. David May & Amfree.
==Critical reception== Barry Walters from ''The Advocate'' wrote that the song "distills Jam & Spoon's most accessible aspects into one flawlessly girly flamenco-style hi-NRG anthem."<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Barry |last= Walters |title= Reviews: Music |magazine= The Advocate |date= 26 July 1994 |page= 75 |accessdate= 9 October 2020 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=I2MEAAAAMBAJ}}</ref> Larry Flick from ''Billboard'' magazine described it as a "jumpy, disco/pop ditty that strobes with bright synths and a killer hook." He noted that "at first, singer Plavka will have you thinking of Madonna, though her own unique tones and nuances eventually shine through. She has a field day with the song, more than holding her own against the track's busy array of sound effects."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1994/BB-1994-06-11.pdf|first=Larry|last=Flick|title=New & Noteworthy|magazine=Billboard|date=11 June 1994|access-date=23 January 2018|author-link=Larry Flick}}</ref> In a 1997 review, the magazine called it a "percolating ditty [that] was years ahead of its time, since the groove and synths sound as fresh as ever.
