Wikipedia article
"'Quarter Past Midnight'" is a song by English indie pop band Bastille. It was released on 9 May 2018 as the lead single from their third studio album, 'Doom Days' (2019). The song was written by Dan Smith, who handled the production along with Mark Crew.
Background
In an interview with 'NME', Smith said, "It's the first single from our new album and it's kind of like an opening scene-setter. It's about escapism, when you want the night to keep going and try to lose yourself in it for whatever reason. We wanted to capture that feeling and have it sound a bit raucous and messy and euphoric. We wanted to try something a bit different and new. We had a really good time making this record and wanted it to very much be one concise thing with a very distinct sound."
