Songfacts®:

• Canadian singer-songwriter Tate McRae joins Tiesto on this dance anthem. McRae sings about struggling to get through the days when there's "monsters under my bed" and "the TV makes you think the whole world's about to end." She yearns for "10:35," when day turns to night and her man puts his arms around her. Then she will feel safe and not afraid anymore.
• Tiesto and McRae wrote "10:35" with Amy Allen, Ryan Tedder and Scott Harris. Apl.de.ap, Fergie, Nicholas Roubanis, Thomas Van Musser and will.i.am also get credited because it interpolates their Black Eyed Peas song "Pump It."
• Tiesto and Ryan Tedder co-produced the track with Peter "Lostboy" Rycroft. Lostboy also collaborated with the Dutch DJ on his "The Motto" single.
• Tate McRae traveled to Dubai to shoot the video at the city's luxury resort and hotel, Atlantis The Royal.
• Tiesto dropped a Joel Corry remix on January 20, 2023.
• For Tiesto, the song is about the moment the night starts for him: 10:35. "That's usually when I'm wrapping up dinner and starting to think about what's next," he explained to Apple Music. "It's when things really get going."
