In 2002 a "Best Of" album with La Bouche and Melanie Thornton was released in Europe and South America.
To commemorate her death, Kayo Shekoni took the place of Natascha Wright with Lane McCray to release "In Your Life" in 2003 featuring vocals of Melanie Thornton in Europe and the USA. It did well in the US, peaking at #6 in the dance billboard charts, alongside Justin Timberlake. They played various club gigs and a side show with Coolio and Jennifer Lopez. Shortly after that the record company "Logic Records" closed down and La Bouche were left to their own devices. Lane McCray has continued La Bouche with Dance-pop singer Dana Rayne. They continue to tour.

Forever and ever it's never enough
Tonight is the night it's the night of love
Together forever I can't get enough
Come on in mon, mu-huh
Hold me, hold me, ya squeeze me, squeeze me
Hold me, hold me, yes nobody love me
Yes come and rid the music come receive the pardon
Yes run come give me love and come-a, give it to me
By the way you give me loving, give me, physically
And anything we do it, do it, naturally
Say come again we do it till we receive the pardon
Tonight is the night it's the night of love
Forever and ever it's never enough
Tonight is the night it's the night of love
Together forever I can't get enough
Oh, oh, oh, give me the night for love, I just can't get enough
Oh, oh, oh, give me the night for love, too much is not enough
Come down with it mon, mu-huh, stor pah-to
Now that you got my love and together we can make it
Don't anybody try to stop it people try to break it (uh huh)
Come quit the fights I meant to keep peace and harmony (I like that)
Your love is what I want unless you give it to me
Yes, a-da-heh, a-da-heh, come quit the fights don't stop it

A-da come with a disc come make me stop me find me go
Say come baby girl your gonna hear how we flow take me with your love (oh no)
Aiee, aiee, aiee, aieeh, I just can't get enough
The song "Tonight Is The Night" by La Bouche is a classic dance anthem that speaks about the desire for unending love and the passion that comes with it. The chorus of the song emphasizes the fact that no matter how much one person receives love, it is never enough. The repeated phrase "Tonight is the night", creates a sense of anticipation and excitement that is often associated with finding love or reigniting the spark in an existing relationship. The lyrics in the verses are a bit ambiguous and open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest that the person singing is inviting their lover to come and be with them, to hold and embrace them.
The use of repetition in the song is notable, as the chorus is repeated multiple times, and the phrase "Hold me, hold me, ya squeeze me, squeeze me," and "A-da-heh, a-da-heh," are repeated throughout the verses, creating a catchy and memorable melody. The vocals by Melanie Thornton are powerful and soulful, adding an emotive feel to the song. The use of electronic dance beats and synthesizers adds to the high-energy tempo of the song, making it a perfect party anthem.
