Background
Coulter announced the single and its release date on 1 June 2020 through Instagram.

"Last Night" is Coulter's first music release in two years, following the 2018 single "Unbothered". In an interview with Sunrise, Coulter announced its release and said "I'm pumped for you to hear this song, it's been a long time coming."

Music forum auspOp described the single as "her returning to her dance/pop roots" with Coulter explaining:"'When I toured last year – it reminded me how much my fans love me for uplifting, feel-good music they can dance to. I played the State Theatre in Sydney, which is usually filled with quite a conservative crowd, but after the show they told me they had never seen a crowd jumping up and down and singing like that! And it made me realise I've gotta give the fans what they want, what they love.'"

Reception
In a review of the song, Women In Pop said 'Last Night' was "a sensuous, low key banger with a pulsing bassline reminiscent of 70s funk married with a multi-layered cascade of electronic beats". Thomas Bleach described the song as "an apocalyptic pop song that radiates love, and explores that pure infatuation that charges through [Ricki-Lee's] veins when she's around [her husband]" and that it "makes you want to hit a crowded dance floor immediately". Out in Perth described it as "a song for our times" and said it's "the kind of dance tune we all love to gear [sic] from the Australian singer".
