"All Night" is a remake of Icona Pop's 2013 dance track of the same name. The song is about expressing yourself and not being afraid to show how you do it. The song also talks about how once you are in your element, you just want to do you all night.
Following the release of the song, a post titled "How did you guys find IVE's 'All Night'?" was uploaded to a popular South Korean online community forum. There, internet users expressed their opinions on IVE's latest release.

Opinions on the song were divided. Some people loved it, saying that is was a fresh, new style. Others commented that the original version by Icona Pop was already popular internationally, so it is speculated to be a hit with overseas fans.
Some comments read,
- "I liked it!"
- "This was a song that was already popular internationally. It seems like a song that will be hit with a crowd."
- "I like that it's a fresh and new style."
However, not everyone was a fan. Those who liked the original version claimed IVE and Saweetie ruined the song. Others thought it was just so-so, and that it was drawing too much similarities to LE SSERAFIM's "Perfect Night." Not only are the two songs in English, but both revolve around the night.
- "As a fan of the original song, I am pretty upset... They totally ruined it..."
- "It's just so-so..."
- "Seriously, isn't this song too similar to LE SSERAFIM's English song?"
