Background
"All Night" is an EDM song written by the Vamps, Justin Franks, Danny Majic and John Mitchell and produced by DJ Frank E, Danny Majic, and Matoma. In an interview for 1883 Magazine, guitarist James McVey said: "It's a song that we did with a guy called Frank E who’s a producer in LA and it was created on two trips there. First of all, he sent the idea of the chorus, and it sounds like it’s being sung by children but it’s pitched up so it’s like that kind of sample almost. Then Brad and I went for the first trip, we did some verses and then Connor went later with Brad. Tristan’s been working on it, helping and advising production-wise because he does production, so, it's a song that’s been happening over the past few months. It started really with that chorus and we wrote around it". Lyrically, "It's about a nostalgia, not like you've split up with someone but when you're apart you're thinking about them. In the verses, it also subtly hints at the fact that the person has helped you become a better person and helped you in difficult times", he explained.

The announcement of the release date of the song was made on 7 October 2016, through Capital FM.

The song was previously released on Capital FM on 13 October 2016 and officially released the next day. On 16 October 2016, it was announced that the bundle of the single would be released on 4 November 2016, containing two CDs and a digital download.
