"Up at Night" is a song by American singer Kehlani, featuring vocals from Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It was released through Atlantic Records as the third single from Kehlani's third album, Blue Water Road, on March 30, 2022. The song marks the second collaboration between the two artists, following Bieber's promotional single, "Get Me", from his fifth album, Changes (2020).
Composition and lyrics "Up at Night" has been described as "ethereal, smooth, and sultry". Kehlani sings over synths, then the song shifts to a dance groove with disco-styled guitar, and Bieber sings his verse. The song plays homage to Soul II Soul and Rose Windross' single "Fairplay".
