'"Ungodly Hour"' is a song by American R&B duo Chloe x Halle for their second studio album of the same name. The song's music video was released on February 25, 2021 after its premiere on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'. The song was written by the duo alongside English band Disclosure, who also handled production.
Upon the release of its parent album, "Ungodly Hour" received attention from music critics, who complimented its "sugar-coated melodies over a blissful Disclosure groove" or called it "a moment of vulnerability".
Background
Speaking with 'PopSugar' in January 2020, the duo elaborated on the collaboration and how their session with Disclosure sparked the song's title: "[Disclosure] are two brothers, and they're literally like mirrors of [Chloe x Halle]. [Ungodly Hour] was a phrase for that [studio session] riff. We kind of spoke it into existence, you could say." The interview also revealed an alternate title idea from the session was "The Trouble With Angels".
Chloe Bailey said about the song's development:
