"Up All Night" was the song that introduced Slaughter in 1990: the band's first single, sitting third on their Chrysalis debut, Stick It to Ya. Mark Slaughter wrote it with his bandmate Dana Strum, who also produced, and it's glam metal with the throttle wide open and the hairspray set to maximum, a record built to get a whole arena on its feet.
Michael Bay directed the video, and the New York Times later picked it for its list of 15 Essential Hair-Metal Videos.
