Bài hát nói về tự tin về những ham muốn của bản thân và trải nghiệm cảm giác tự do khi những kỳ vọng của xã hội bị gạt sang một bên. Cuối cùng, bài nhạc cũng khuyến khích phá bỏ quy chuẩn khắc nghiệt của cuộc sống, đón nhận niềm vui và tận hưởng trọn vẹn từng giây phút của cuộc sống. Được phát hành vào ngày 22 tháng 9 năm 2023, "After Midnight" là ca khúc thứ ba trong album đầu tay của Chappell Roan mang tên "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" .


My mama said nothing good happens

When it's late and you're dancing alone

She's in my head saying it's not attractive

Wearing that dress and red lipstick

This is what I wanted, this is what I like

I've been a good, good girl for a long time

But baby, I like flirting, a lover by my side

Can't be a good, good girl even if I tried

"Cause after midnight

I" m feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the club lights

I kinda wanna kiss your girlfriend if you don't mind

I love a little drama, let's start a bar fight

"Cause everything good happens after midnight

I" m feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the moonlight

I kinda wanna kiss your boyfriend if you don't mind

I love a little uh-huh, let's watch the sunrise

"Cause everything good happens after

I really want your hands on my body

A slow dance, baby, let" s get it on

That's my type of fun, that's my kind of party

Your hands on my body, your hot hands

This is what I wanted, this is what I like

I've been a good, good girl for a long time

But baby, I like flirting, a lover by my side

Can't be a good, good girl even if I tried

"Cause after midnight

I" m feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the club lights

I kinda wanna kiss your girlfriend if you don't mind

I love a little drama, let's start a bar fight

"Cause everything good happens after midnight

I" m feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the moonlight

I kinda wanna kiss your boyfriend if you don't mind

I love a little uh-huh, let's watch the sunrise

"Cause everything good happens after midnight

Baby, put your hands up

Be a freak in the club

Yeah, we" ll make a move then we're making out

Yeah, we'll make, a-make love

Yeah, we'll make, a-make love

Be a freak in the club

Be a freak in club

After midnight

I'm feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the club lights (Club lights)

I kinda wanna kiss your girlfriend if you don't mind (If you don't, if you don't mind)

I love a little drama, let's start a bar fight (Everybody wants make a little love, get drunk)

"Cause everything good happens after midnight

I" m feeling kinda freaky, maybe it's the moonlight (Moonlight)

I kinda wanna kiss your boyfriend if you don't mind (If you don't, if you don't mind)

I love a little uh-huh, let's watch the sunrise

'Cause everything good happens after
