All Night

All Night

Beyoncé

“All Night” is a groovy love ballad. The song illustrates a wise love, one that has experienced deep pain and disappointment yet was able to come out the other side determined to keep going.

This track serves as the unofficial ‘close’ to the album’s emotional journey, before Beyonce’s first single from Lemonade, “Formation.”

The chorus samples the infectious brass line from OutKast’s “SpottieOttieDopaliscious.”

It’s not the first time Beyoncé has sampled the “SpottieOttieDopaliscious” horns either—those same trumpets announce Nicki Minaj’s first verse on the “Flawless Remix.” She also used the horns during “Flawless” performances in the “Mrs. Carter Show” tour before the remix was even out.
