Composed by Sammy Fain with lyrics by Irving Kahal and Pierre Norman, "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me" is a standard pre-dating the film. However, Liza Minnelli's rendition injects a fresh energy that reflects the film's exploration of love and ambition in the vibrant New York City. The song is performed by Minnelli's character, Francine Evans, a rising pop singer, during a nightclub scene.

The performance also foreshadows her future success, separate from her tumultuous relationship with De Niro's character, Jimmy Doyle.
Lyrics[]
If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me
And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to dream my whole life through
You brought a new love to me
I know that I'm the queen and you're the king
Still, you can understand that underneath it all
I'm a girl and you, you are a man
I would work and slave the whole life through
If I could hurry home to you
'Cause you brought a new kind of love to me
I would work and slave my whole life through
Just to hurry home to you
You brought a new kind of love to me
Oh, you brought a new kind of love to me
