"In the Middle of the Night" is a 1994 song recorded by German eurodance band Magic Affair, and was released as the third single from their debut studio album, Omen (The Story Continues...). Rap parts are performed by American rapper AK Swift, and the lead vocals are by German singer Franca Morgano.

Critical reception[]

Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Steamroller subtlety from the Teutonic techno team on a song with less substance than The Omen, and following the well tried female singer/male rapper formula. A hit but probably not set for an extended run in the Top 40."[1]

Music video[]

The accompanying music video for "In the Middle of the Night" was directed by Manuela Hiller & Oliver Sommer.
