About Last Night... is the second studio album by English singer Mabel. It was released on 15 July 2022 through Polydor Records, and serves as the follow-up to her debut album, High Expectations (2019).[1][2] Production of the album took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the singer deciding to explore new sounds after watching TV shows such as Pose and RuPaul's Drag Race, while also listening to dance songs by Madonna, Whitney Houston and Cece Peniston.[3][4]
A concept album that follows "the progress of a party, from arrival through romantic tension to break-up and final redemption", About Last Night... mixes synth-pop, disco, house and R&B[5] with themes of love, empowerment and confidence.[6] It was supported by three singles: "Let Them Know", "Good Luck" and "Overthinking", as well as two promotional singles: "Let Love Go" featuring Lil Tecca and "Crying on the Dance Floor".
Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics, many of whom complimented the production and Mabel's new musical direction.[7] The album was a commercial success, peaking at number two on the UK Albums Chart and making it her highest-charting album to date.[8]
