Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That life just aint that bad
Daytimes got you pushing
And deadlines got you stressed
You know one day you're gonna quit
But I swear by the end of the day you'll see
A few more hours of pushing
This time is all mine
We goin all night (right till the morning)
We feelin alright (new sun rising)
We goin all night
Till we do it again
We party all night (right til the morning)
Oh maybe in the morning
I'll finally feel alright
The parties got me steppin
Got me steppin to the vibes
It dont even matter what day of week
Cause I know right now I feel complete
From last nights vibes n pushin'
Tomorrow we'll do it again.
We goin all night (right till the morning)
We feelin alright (new sun rising)
We goin all night
Till we do it again
We party all night (right til the morning)
If I should lose you tonight, that's alright, meet me in the morning
We goin all night (right till the morning)
We feelin alright (new sun rising)
We goin all night
Till we do it again
We party all night (right til the morning)
The song “All Night” is about the euphoria and liberation experienced when one is out partying with friends. The initial lines convey the idea that life can be challenging, with work and deadlines causing stress, but it’s always worth it to take a break and enjoy yourself. The lyrics encourage listeners to live in the moment, push through obstacles, and let loose. There is a sense of urgency in the song, as though the partygoers are aware that the good times won’t last forever, and they want to savour every moment they have. The chorus is about the party going on until the morning, with a new sun rising and the participants feeling euphoric and alive. Although the lyrics don’t explicitly say so, the song could also be interpreted as a call to disconnect from the routines and troubles of everyday life, to let go and experience freedom and joy.
The second verse talks about the effects of the party on the singer - the music has them moving and feeling the rhythm, completely absorbed in the experience. It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, because in that moment they are content and free from the worries of the world. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that the party will continue all night until morning. The final line, "If I should lose you tonight, that's alright, meet me in the morning," could mean that even if the party gets wild and chaotic, it’s all part of the fun, and they’ll gather again in the morning to continue their revelries.
