Do you remember the twenty-first night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretender, while chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing in the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night, remember how the stars stole the night away

Questlove's documentary Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs That's the Weight of the World), which premiered at the Tribeca Festival earlier this year, has funneled fresh attention onto the band's signature hit — now broadly charting today across 132 country and platform rankings. Alongside the film, Questlove told People that the song, once considered a throwaway, was inspired by the expected September birth of Maurice White's son. Written by White with Allee Willis over Al McKay's guitar figure, the track has never left cultural rotation, scoring the closing scenes of Night at the Museum (2006) and Disney's Cosmic Rewind coaster. Its return follows a 97-day absence — a documentary-driven resurgence rather than a random spike.
