"Give Me All Night" is the second single from Carly Simon's 13th studio album Coming Around Again (1987). The song was co-written by Simon with Gerard McMahon and produced by Paul Samwell-Smith.[1] An accompanying music video was filmed on Martha's Vineyard and featured drummer Rick Marotta.[2]
The song is one of Simon's biggest Adult contemporary hits, and has been included on multiple compilations of her work, such as the three-disc box set Clouds in My Coffee (1995), the UK import (1998), the two-disc retrospective Anthology (2002), the single-disc (2004), and Sony Music's (2014). Simon also performed the song on her 1987 HBO concert special Live from Martha's Vineyard.
"Give Me All Night" peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Simon's 21st entry on this chart, where it spent 12 weeks.[3] It was even more successful on Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at No. 5 and charting for 17 weeks.[3] The song was a minor hit in Canada, and charted at No. 87.[4] It also charted in South Africa, peaking at No. 14,[5] and in the UK, where it reached No. 98 for a single week.[6]
Cash Box called it a "gentle and richly melodic ballad."[7]
