"
All Through the Night" is a song by American singer-songwriter
Cyndi Lauper, released from her debut album
She's So Unusual. It was written by
Jules Shear for his album
Watch Dog, as a mid-tempo folk-rock song. After
The Cars recorded their own version, which they did not use on any of their albums, Lauper decided to cover it. Although she initially intended to do a straight cover of Shear's version, she turned it into a pop ballad instead.
