Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review, writing:

"Co-written by hit-maker Wayne Hector (One Direction, Nicki Minaj), 'Last Night' is a sugary pop-rock anthem packed with carefree youth and mischief. "Yeah last night I think we were dancing/ Singing all our favourite songs," they recollect over fizzy guitar riffs and jump-around beats, before they coyly admit: "Think I might have kissed someone." It unashamedly plays up to its target audience, but with pop hooks more chewy and sweet than jelly beans, it has all the potential to pull in the larger crowd." [2]

Music video

The music video was uploaded to YouTube on 26 February 2014. As of December 31, 2019, the video has almost 39 million views.[3]
