La Toya Jackson singles chronology

"Night Time Lover" is the second single by American singer La Toya Jackson, from her eponymous debut (1980). The track was produced and co-written by her brother, fellow American singer Michael Jackson, who was credited for background vocals. They originally wrote the song for Donna Summer under the title "Fire Is the Feeling".^[1]

Bobby DeBarge of American musical band Switch, La Toya's love interest at the time, wrote the 1980 song "You and I" in response. The song begins: "You know, I was listening to the radio the other day, and I heard the words that you said, that I'm your night time lover."^[2]

La Toya performed the song on the November 10, 1980 episode of the Dutch TV program TopPop and a month later on the December 13 episode of American Bandstand.^[3]

On the online music database AllMusic, editor Justin Kantor provides the following description to the song: "Another primer is 'Night Time Lover,' a softly seductive, simultaneously kinetic number produced by brother Michael."^[4]
