"Last Night" is Coulter's first music release in two years,[6] following the 2018 single "Unbothered". In an interview with Sunrise, Coulter announced its release and said "I'm pumped for you to hear this song, it's been a long time coming."
Music forum auspOp described the single as "her returning to her dance/pop roots" with Coulter explaining:
"When I toured last year – it reminded me how much my fans love me for uplifting, feel-good music they can dance to. I played the State Theatre in Sydney, which is usually filled with quite a conservative crowd, but after the show they told me they had never seen a crowd jumping up and down and singing like that! And it made me realise I've gotta give the fans what they want, what they love."[7]

In a review of the song, Women In Pop said 'Last Night' was "a sensuous, low key banger with a pulsing bassline reminiscent of 70s funk married with a multi-layered cascade of electronic beats".[8] Thomas Bleach described the song as "an apocalyptic pop song that radiates love, and explores that pure infatuation that charges through [Ricki-Lee's] veins when she's around [her husband]" and that it "makes you want to hit a crowded dance floor immediately".[9] Out in Perth described it as "a song for our times" and said it's "the kind of dance tune we all love to gear [sic] from the Australian singer".[10]
