Quick Facts from the album Press Play and Just like You, Released ...

Part of the recording session was shown on Cole's reality show, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, on BET in July 2006. The making of the video was shown on BET's Access Granted on January 31, 2007.

Background

The song has an '80s-styled beat. The song samples the drumbeat of Prince's "Erotic City", but slightly modified to increase the bass. During BET's Access Granted, Diddy brought up the fact that Cole re-recorded her parts multiple times, and the two had many artistic differences on the song. The recording of the song was featured on Cole's reality show The Way It Is. On the UK radio version of the song, Diddy is heard talking on the phone only with the explicit words censored out at the end. The radio version of the song fades out before the phone dials, while the clean album version of the song still has this part only with the explicit words censored out.

Composition

"Last Night" is written in the key of E minor (recorded a half-step lower in E♭ minor). The song moves at a tempo of 121 beats per minute, and the vocals in the song span from B3 to D5.[1]

Chart performance

"Last Night" peaked at number ten on the Hot 100, becoming his second top-ten hit off Press Play. The track was a moderate hit worldwide. "Last Night" managed to go top 20 in ten different countries. In the UK, "Last Night" only reached number 14, becoming his first single from Press Play not to hit the top ten.
