"All Night" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé for her sixth studio album, Lemonade (2016). It was co-written and co-produced by Diplo and Beyoncé, while being co-written by Henry Allen (King Henry), who was also responsible for co-production, Timothy Thomas, Theron Thomas, Ilsey Juber, Akil King, Aman Tekleab, Jaramye Daniels, André Benjamin, Patrick Brown and Antwan Patton.

A reggae-tinged track, "All Night" features "sprinklings" of horns and strings in its instrumentation, while sampling the brass line from Outkast's song "SpottieOttieDopaliscious". The song was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio as the album's fifth single on December 6, 2016. Lyrically, the song talks about forgiveness and rebuilding trust after infidelity, with the protagonist trying to rekindle the passion with her lover. The song's music video is part of a one-hour film with the same title as its parent album, originally aired on HBO.

Critical response

Entertainment Weekly listed "All Night" at number 15 on their list of best songs of the year, with the editor Leah Greenblat commenting "It makes sense that a sweet, tender lullaby of a love song would garner less attention in the immediate wake of Mrs. Carter's firebomb Lemonade revelations, but it would be a shame to miss this low-key stunner, one of the all-time finest odes to a subject pop music hardly ever deigns sexy enough to address: long-term monogamy." Consequence of Sound included the song at number 38 on their year-end ranking and USA Today, at number 3. The song would later be voted in Village Voice's Pazz & Jop the 46th best single of 2016.
