"I Don't Wanna Go to Bed" is a song by Canadian rock band Simple Plan featuring American rapper Nelly.[1] The song serves as the lead single for fifth studio album Taking One for the Team and was released to digital retailers on October 15, 2015 through Atlantic Records and WEA International.[2] The song takes a more funk-styled approach compared to most of Simple Plan's previous work.
"I Don't Wanna Go to Bed" is a pop rock and funk song written in the key of D minor. It features guitar riffs, horns and a beat reminiscent of "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.[3]
The song was released on October 15, 2015, with an accompanying music video released on the band's YouTube channel the same day.[4] The song received mixed reactions from music critics: Fuse's first impressions being "confused and delighted".[1] Collin Brennan from Consequence of Sound criticized it for being a poor imitation of "Uptown Funk", calling it "a generic pop song that’s a shade too wimpy for the rock club or the nightclub."[3]
