This is the first single by British singer James Blunt, from his third album Some Kind of Trouble. Blunt teamed up with American songwriters Ryan Tedder (Bleeding Love, Halo) and Steve Robson ( Please Don't Let Me Go, What About Now) to pen the track.
This party song, about "singing 'Billie Jean' and mixing vodka and caffeine," marks the first time Blunt has written with two other songwriters in the same room or started a song from scratch.
Blunt penned this tune as he was "tired of writing self-pitying songs." In an interview for Scottish television channel STV, Blunt stated: "After the last tour I tried writing at the piano, but I was repeating myself, writing sad songs about poor old me. I needed to get away from music for a while. My new songs, most prominently 'Stay the Night', are more optimistic. One thing I did learn is that your artistic credibility goes out the window when you have a big record. 'You're Beautiful' meant something to me, but to most people, it's a song they sing when they're drunk."
