Songfacts®:

  • This is the title track of You Me At Six's fifth studio album. It was also released as the record's lead single on August 23, 2016. Vocalist Josh Franceschi explained to Kerrang:

    "This was one of the first songs that we wrote for the album, and we felt that the title captured something about the mood of the album. There's that line in the chorus – 'Night people, roaming the streets. Night people, we'll get what we need,' that I really like, and it's kinda inspired by people who live for cutting loose at the weekends. Most bands have a kinda 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. existence, from soundcheck to bus call after the show, so it seemed like an appropriate title for a rock record."
