 " Marry the Night " is a dance @-@ pop and synthpop song with electro rock and house influences . The song starts out with electronic church bells and Gaga softly singing " I 'm gonna marry the night / I won 't give up on my life / I 'm a warrior queen / Live passionately tonight . " Soon the beat changes into a dance one , accompanied with techno beats , handclaps and funk music , and moves to the chorus , where Gaga stutters the line " Ma @-@ ma @-@ ma @-@ marry / Ma @-@ ma @-@ ma @-@ marry / Ma @-@ ma @-@ ma @-@ marry the night " . It was compared by Tim Jonze from The Guardian to the Eurodance song , " It 's My Life " by Dr Alban , while Nicola James from MTV compared the chorus with Jennifer Lopez 's 1999 single " Waiting for Tonight . In a pre @-@ release review of certain album tracks , Peter Robinson from the NME blog wrote that Gaga channels " Whitney Houston @-@ esque pop euphoria " into the song , notably that from the singer 's musical peak .
