"Queen of the Night" is an uptempo hard rock number, with Houston expressing how she "rules the club scene", proclaiming herself "queen of the night". It was released to US radio in November 1993 and peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, and number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, becoming Houston's fifth number one dance single. Due to Billboard's charting requirements at that time, singles without a commercial release were ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was released in several other countries. In the UK, it peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart, and numbers nine and four on the Music Week Dance Singles and Airplay charts. The music video for the song was directed by Mick Jackson.
