"'All Night'" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Girls' Generation for their sixth studio album 'Holiday Night' (2017). The song was released digitally on August 4, 2017, as the album's single alongside "Holiday" by S.M. Entertainment.

Composition



According to 'Billboard's Tamar Herman, "All Night" is a nu-disco tune in the style of a bubblegum pop song that features a 1980s vibe with "thumping" bass and "twinky electronic" melody. Jacques Peterson from Idolator described the track as "funky nu-disco" that turns "a teenage slumber party into Studio 54." Lyrically, the song is a dedication to Girls' Generation's longevity and bond with their supporters which, according to Herman, is "atypical" for K-pop girl groups.

Chart performance



"All Night" debuted at number 35 on the Gaon Digital Chart, on the chart issue dated July 30 August 5, 2017, with 47,802 downloads sold.

Music videos



A documentary-style music video for the song was released on August 4, 2017, featuring in between mini-interviews of the eight members reflecting upon their career, interspersed with scenes of the girls having fun and dancing in a disco club. The video ends with clips from the early days of the group, which offers up "a quick trip down memory lane of what is now one of K-pop's most legendary acts", according to 'Billboard's Tamar Herman. A "clean version" music video excluding mini-interviews was released the following day and features only the disco scenes.

Reception



Idolator's Jacques Peterson wrote, "Even if you don't listen to K-Pop, these tracks ["All Night" and "Holiday"] are absolute must-haves for any pop playlist this summer."

The song made 'Billboard's "20 Best K-pop Songs of 2017" list at number 14, described as a slick single appropriate for vogue-off as it is for a K-pop concert.
