Sunglasses at Night was released in 1983 as the debut single by Canadian singer Corey Hart from his album First Offense. The track became a defining synth-pop hit of the 80s, famous for its dark, stylish image of wearing shades after dark. Decades later it found new life online through retro edits, synthwave compilations and TikTok trends celebrating 80s aesthetics alongside other retro synth anthems like running in the 90s. Its instantly recognizable chorus keeps it popular for night-themed videos, costume transformations and nostalgic memes.
