“Let’s Fall in Love for the Night” is FINNEAS' tenth solo single to be released, and the last of two singles to be released by the singer over the course of two weeks in October 2018.

The track is one of the singer’s most “classical pop” songs yet, as acknowledged by the singer in an interview with Billboard:

I love pop songs so much and I don’t put a ton of pressure on myself as a solo artist to always write the most commercial feeling thing, I just want to write things I would love to listen to. This feels like one of those.

In the same interview, the singer and songwriter also shared his inspiration for this song, which came in August of 2018, when he was in Osaka, Japan touring with his sister, rising artist Billie Eilish:

I was in Osaka, Japan, FaceTiming a girl I’d never met every day and knowing there was nothing I could really do about it. I wrote this song about the day I would fantasize having with her.

Its release was first teased in a tweet on October, 10, 2018:
