"'All Night'" is a song recorded by American singer Beyonc for her sixth studio album, 'Lemonade' (2016). The song was written by Diplo, Beyonc, Henry Allen, Timothy Thomas, Theron Thomas, Ilsey Juber, Akil King, and Jaramye Daniels. Diplo, Beyonc, and Allen co-produced the track.

A reggae-tinged track, "All Night" features "sprinklings" of horns and strings in its instrumentation, while sampling the brass line from "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" written by OutKast (Andr Benjamin, Antwan Patton) and Sleepy Brown (Patrick Brown). The song was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio as the album's fifth single on December 2, 2016. Lyrically, the song focuses on forgiveness and rebuilding trust after infidelity, with the protagonist trying to rekindle the passion with her lover. The song's music video is part of a one-hour film with the same title as its parent album, originally aired on HBO which premiered in April 2016.

Critical response



The song received critical acclaim from critics upon release. 'Entertainment Weekly' listed "All Night" at number 15 on their list of best songs of the year, with the editor Leah Greenblat commenting "It makes sense that a sweet, tender lullaby of a love song would garner less attention in the immediate wake of Mrs. Carter's firebomb 'Lemonade' revelations, but it would be a shame to miss this low-key stunner, one of the all-time finest odes to a subject pop music hardly ever deigns sexy enough to address: long-term monogamy." 'Consequence of Sound' included the song at number 38 on their year-end ranking and 'USA Today', at number 3. The song would later be voted in 'Village Voice's Pazz & Jop the 46th best single of 2016.

Commercial performance



After the release of 'Lemonade', "All Night" debuted on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart at number 38. The song also debuted on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart at number 23. In overseas charts, although not being an official single, the song entered the top 10 in Sweden's digital charts. As of June, the song has sold 146,832 downloads in US.

Music video



The music video for the song was released to YouTube on November 30, 2016. The video features footage from Beyonc's home movies, including her and Jay-Z's wedding day and spending family time with their first daughter, Blue Ivy.

Live performances



"All Night" was part of the set list of The Formation World Tour with the first performance taking place in Miami at the Marlins Park on April 27, 2016.
