Beck's "Up All Night" got out into the world well ahead of its album: in September 2016 it turned up on the soundtrack of the video game FIFA 17 and played under an ad for the smartwatch maker Fossil, a full year before it went to radio as the third single from Colors, his thirteenth studio album. Beck wrote it with Greg Kurstin, and it's pure sugar-rush pop, all bright synths and bouncing beat, the sound of a party that refuses to wind down.

The video, from the Catalan production company CANADA, plays like a pocket-sized action movie: a partygoer passes out mid-rager, and the French actress Solene Rigot, in knight's armor with a street sign for a shield, charges through the apartment block to save him.
