Composition

According to Billboard 's Tamar Herman, "All Night" is a nu-disco tune in the style of a bubblegum pop song that features a 1980s vibe with "thumping" bass and "twinky electronic" melody. [1] Jacques Peterson from Idolator described the track as "funky nu-disco" that turns "a teenage slumber party into Studio 54." [2] Lyrically, the song is a dedication to Girls' Generation's longevity and bond with their supporters which, according to Herman, is "atypical" for K-pop girl groups. [1]

Chart performance

"All Night" debuted at number 35 on the Gaon Digital Chart, on the chart issue dated July 30 – August 5, 2017, with 47,802 downloads sold. [3] [4]

Music videos

A documentary-style music video for the song was released on August 4, 2017, featuring in between mini-interviews of the eight members reflecting upon their career, interspersed with scenes of the girls having fun and dancing in a disco club. The video ends with clips from the early days of the group, which offers up "a quick trip down memory lane of what is now one of K-pop's most legendary acts", according to Billboard's Tamar Herman. [1] A "clean version" music video excluding mini-interviews was released the following day and features only the disco scenes.

Reception

Idolator's Jacques Peterson wrote, "Even if you don't listen to K-Pop, these tracks ["All Night" and "Holiday"] are absolute must-haves for any pop playlist this summer." [2]

The song made Billboard's "20 Best K-pop Songs of 2017" list at number 14, described as a slick single appropriate for vogue-off as it is for a K-pop concert. [5]
