About Last Night… is the second studio album by English singer Mabel. It serves as the follow-up to Mabel’s debut album, High Expectations (2019). Production of the album took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the singer taking inspiration to explore new sounds after watching TV shows such as Pose and RuPaul’s Drag Race, while also listening to dance records by Madonna, Whitney Houston and Cece Peniston.
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 with themes of love, empowerment and confidence. It was supported by the release of the singles “Let Them Know”, Good Luck with Jax Jones & Galantis and Overthinking with 24kGoldn.
Upon its release, it received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many praising the overall production and Mabel’s new direction, while others were more critical of the lyrical content. Despite the moderate success of its singles, the album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, becoming her highest charting album to date.
