Midnight Memories is the third studio album by British-Irish boy band One Direction, released on 25 November 2013 by Columbia Records, Syco Music and Sony Music. The album was described by the band as edgier, and as having a "slightly rockier tone" than their previous efforts. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 making One Direction the first group in history to debut at number one in the US with their first three albums.

One Direction began working on their third studio album whilst embarking on their second international tour, the Take Me Home tour. The album was announced simultaneously with the news of the band's third world tour, the Where We Are Tour, which subsequently led fans to wrongly assume that the album title would be named Where We Are. Member Louis Tomlinson proclaimed that the album would have a "rockier" sound to it than the band's previous releases. The official title of the album was announced on 6 September 2013, starting with Zayn Malik tweeting a teaser video of Harry Styles spelling out the word "Mid" out of a pile of alphabet cards on the floor, followed by a full video posted on the band's Instagram account later on, revealing the title, Midnight Memories.

That’s what this age and youth is for — having fun. It’s totally fine if you are a mess, stumbling in the street. There is no need to be perfect all the time. Let your hair down and let loose. None of us are promised tomorrow, so live it up in the present.

There you have it. This is an anthem that celebrates life and living in the moment, making as many memories as possible.

"Last Night" is a song by British pop band The Vamps. It was released in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2014 as the third single from their debut studio album Meet the Vamps (2014).

"Last Night" was written by Wayne Hector, TMS and Ayak Thiik, and produced by TMS. On 20 February 2014, The Vamps announced that "Last Night" would be their next single.

Frontman Brad Simpson said that the song is about "having fun and having a party". It was also announced that it would get its debut airplay on Capital FM the following week.

The music video was uploaded to YouTube on 26 February 2014. It has been viewed over 5 million times.

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

"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."
