"Night of My Life" is the title of the debut single for 2006 ''Australian Idol'' winner Damien Leith. This single was performed by the final two contestants - Leith and Jessica Mauboy - during the penultimate episode of ''Australian Idol 2006'', and both contestants recorded and had their versions pressed by Sony BMG, ready for the winner's version to be released immediately after the competition. After Leith won the competition on 26 November 2006, the song was available online through Bigpond Music; Bigpond is a major sponsor of ''Australian Idol''. The single was released as a CD on 28 November. The physical single contained a copy of Leith's original song "Come to Me", which can be streamed from his (Myspace ). The single was written by Adam Reily and is the first of the winner’s singles to be penned by a local songwriter. A music video was shot for the song on 28 November. In less than 72 hours of "Night of My Life" being on sale, the single was certified Gold status.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.damienleith.com.au/newsEvents/home.do?newsId=20030829003972 )〕 The single debuted at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart on 3 December, while certified Platinum after one week of sales.
