"All Night" is a song about letting the girl choose what she wants to do. The song was featured in an iPhone X commercial in November 2017. The Guardian saw the song as "simultaneously too wacky and too obvious" and "a moment to cringe at, but for the most part this is dad rap that can hold its head high."
A music video for the single "All Night" was released on June 1, 2018. The visual features Big Boi helping a man set up for a date night.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna kick it with you all night, all night
Have a good time
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
All night, and all night, and all night, baby
Don't be shy, don't be shy, don't be shy, baby
All night and all night
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
It's alright, it's okay
Everybody gonna say what they wanna say
Players gonna play when they wanna play
Long way, only for one night like Luther Vandross, right?
No way, Daddy Fat Saxxx don't skip no days
To eat her, meet her, greet her
Treat her like a queen then I give her that peter, jack
That's how we procreate
Take care my babies, I'mma cope the weight
I'mma carry the load, and I'mma win the bread, as well
No tricking off with my girl
Your chicken all on my girl
She thick with all of her curves
Plus she got a mind on her
Street smart, book smart, built by design for me
Gotta hold her up, 'cause she always holding me down
Like a bank robber with a note, give it to the teller
So she know we ain't fucking around
It's something 'bout that company
I send for you if you come for me
Come for me
If it's all right
I wanna kick it with you all night, all night
Have a good time
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
All night and all night and all night, baby
Don't be shy, don't be shy, don't be shy, baby
All night and all night
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
It's alright, it's okay
I been feeling good, now a nigga feeling great
Started as a little hood nigga from Savannah then I moved to the A (aye!)
Dirty, dirty, see we grew up on Vogues and 30s
Sucking up game like a WetVac
Put it out, eat it up, get it right back
They ain't worthy, sometimes I think they don't deserve me
Big cold as the ice in your night cap
Hit you with your bonnet on by the night-lamp
We don't discriminate, we just want you to participate
It takes two to tango, now where the day go?
This ain't that same old, same old, old same shit
We done switched it up like a plain clothes
5-0, 12, same code
My flow? Hell, stay froze
It's something 'bout that company
I send for you if you come for me
Come for me
If it's all right
I wanna kick it with you all night, all night
Have a good time
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
All night and all night and all night, baby
Don't be shy, don't be shy, don't be shy, baby
All night and all night
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
I just wanna boogie with you, with you
Do anything that you wanna do, wanna do
Girl, I just wanna boogie with you, with you, with you
Ah, yeah
I just wanna boogie with you, with you
Do anything that you wanna do, wanna do
Girl, I just wanna boogie with you, with you, with you
Woo
If it's all right
I wanna kick it with you all night, all night
Have a good time
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
All night and all night and all night, baby
Don't be shy, don't be shy, don't be shy, baby
All night and all night
Ain't gotta worry 'cause it's all right, it's all right
The lyrics to Big Boi's song "All Night" convey the desire to spend endless hours in the company of a special someone, without any worries or constraints. Big Boi raps about treating his girl like a queen, appreciating her intelligence and beauty, and being committed to her. He acknowledges that people will always talk and play games, but he wants to focus on the present moment and enjoy the company of his significant other. He also highlights his roots and upbringing, as well as the evolution of his music, persona, and flow. In the end, he simply wants to dance and have fun with his partner, while the world keeps spinning around them.
The song "All Night" was featured on Big Boi's third solo studio album, "Boomiverse," which was released in 2017. The album debuted at number 34 on the Billboard 200 chart, and received generally positive reviews from critics. "All Night" was produced by Dr. Luke, who also co-wrote the chorus with Big Boi, and features guest vocals by LunchMoney Lewis. The song samples the 1978 disco hit "Funk You Up" by The Sequence, and interpolates Luther Vandross' lyrics from his 1986 song "Bad Boy/Having a Party."
