"Color Your Night" is a song in Persona 3 Reload which plays in Paulownia Mall at night. It was composed and arranged by Atsushi Kitajo with lyrics by Lotus Juice and Jasmine Webb, and is sung by Lotus Juice and Azumi Takahashi. Additional vocals are provided by other people present during the recording, including Kitajo.[1]

The beginning of this track features an instrumental arrangement of a portion of the melody of "Memories of You", which was composed by Shoji Meguro.

This song was included on Persona 3 Reload Original Soundtrack.

"Color Your Night" was created to complement the original tracks. This song is a gentle love song that contrasts the ominous portrayal of the moon in Persona 3.[1]

Lyrics

The lyrics were included in the Persona 3 Reload Original Soundtrack booklet. The line formatting below is from the Japanese physical release.

Time to shine and I'm down to ride
I'm gonna drive until the break of dawn wilding out
I'm on a mission grinding out whatever it is I gotta do
Riding out until the day I meet you I'm riding out

I look up in the sky (sky)
Asking lotta why (why)
But never let it phase[sic] me I'm keeping good vibes
When I'm on the road I watch out for all surprises
What it provides us good and bad
But nothing unties us

Another wander in the night
Let me paint the view
Color a town with my light
For every moment shared with you

Not out in the day
But never fully gone
Going to be back again
Until the coming of a dawn

(HEY)
For all the days ahead of us put your hands up
wave'em side to side for good luck ah
(HEY)
For all the nights like this, put your hands up
love the moment even from dusk yup
(HEY)
You always got my back, and of course I got your back,
don't you worry about that now
(HEY)
It's been a good day good night
It's gonna be a good day good night

When two hands meet at zenith
Nothing comes between us
Dancing like ballerinas
Under the moon light all night long

How these plain and simple scenes get painted so vividly by you...
I just want to stay with you

Around the world I slowly dance
Whenever our eyes meet
You know you leave me in a trance
It means everything to me

Looking down below
The one I seek to find
No matter where you might go
Remember you'll be on my mind

(HEY)
Always watching over me somehow you make me feel invincible,
power to my soul yup
(HEY)
I'm at ease with things that used to bother me
cuz your existence just lights me up yup
(HEY)
You always got my back, and of course I got your back,
don't you worry about that now
(HEY)
It's been a good day good night
It's gonna be a good day good night

Within the inner heart I plead
For you to talk to me
I want to hear all the good and bad
The new stories you have

As I drift across the sky
The hour hand turns high
So good night
Let me sing a lullaby, love
I'll be seeing you, baby

Trivia

  • Takahashi singing alongside Lotus Juice an octave higher (presumably in the words "painted so vividly by you") was not part of the original plan.[1]
