"Into the Night" is the first single from Carlos Santana's new compilation, "Ultimate Santana". The track features Chad Kroeger from Nickelback, whom he previously worked with for "Why Don't You & I" from his album "Shaman". It has received a considerable amount of airplay on VH1. Dania Ramirez of "Heroes" stars in the music video. The song has peaked at #26 in the US and #4 in Australia.

The song is frequently misattributed as a Nickelback song because of the prominent vocals by Kroeger, who co-wrote the song. A variety of Santana singles often features guest vocalists.

Music video

The idea for this music video came from his great nephew, Alejandro. The music video features a man (Freddy Rodriguez of "Ugly Betty") about to jump off a roof when he sees a girl (Dania Ramirez of "Heroes") dancing. He falls for her immediately and starts to follow her. Eventually he follows her to a club where he watches her dance, and at the end they dance together. Meanwhile, Kroeger and Santana play on the roof of the building. The video seems to integrate both the Hispanic and North American cultures, as a symbol of the two cultures coming together in the song itself.
