Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Up All Night. By Songfacts®.

Alex Clare is a British singer-songwriter from Golders Green, London. This punk-rock thrasher is the first single from his debut album with Island Records, The Lateness Of The Hour. It was written during writing sessions with producers Diplo & Switch (responsible for the Jamaican dancehall project Major Lazer and M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" among many others). "They understand what I want from the arrangements," said Clare. "I love those heavy, sine-wave bass lines and they knew how to push them way beyond even my expectations."

According to Clare, this song is "about going on a bender."

The song's music video is a strange one featuring a disheveled bearded man and a bikini-clad girl coughing up water. "It's about sleepwalking," explained Clare to The Guardian. "It's about people waking up in a strange place and not realizing how they got there."
