In 2003, Kool & the Gang asked English
girl group Atomic Kitten to re-record "Ladies Night" for their
The Hits: Reloaded tribute album. The band subsequently asked them if they could include it on
their then-untitled third album which they eventually named after the song in honour of the collaboration following Kool's approval. In Spain, "Ladies Night" was Atomic Kitten's only top ten hit peaking at number three; it lasted three weeks in the top ten of the
Spanish Singles Chart. The video begins with many people anxiously crowded around the entrance of a club, trying to get in. Suddenly a pink plasma waves sweeps through the middle of the crowd, from the door, pushing them off to either side. The group head into the Kitten Club, and the crowd follows them in, until only the bouncer is left standing outside. In the well-lit club, the group groove about and sing, a great deal of which is on a pure white
discothèque dance floor. They primarily dance in a row, with two rows of men behind them, though occasionally they are straddling the fellows, or performing other dance moves with them. Drag queens are spotted in the video, and appear repeatedly, including in the women's washroom, near the video's conclusion. A bartender, bearing resemblance to
Boy George, appears throughout the video.
Jenny Frost starts to flirt with him, as if going in for a kiss; in actuality, she is stealing his drink from behind him. While a man hits on
Liz McClarnon, he is in turn hit on by another man. The group repeatedly flip their hands in the air, creating pink plasma as appeared earlier in the video. This transports them to the opposite side of the club, where they appear on
rollerskates, in different outfits. They use their magic again, instantly stripping three men down to pink lycra underwear. The men, in their
skivvies, visit the girls at their booth.
Natasha Hamilton is so amused at the provided crotch view that she brings out
American money which she waves around; money is never actually transferred. At the very start of the video, when Frost blows a kiss, lip marks appear on the screen as a graphic.
