"Last Night" is a song by American rapper P. Diddy, released by Bad Boy and Atlantic Records on February 27, 2007 as the third single from his fourth studio album, Press Play (2006). Produced by Diddy and American singer Mario Winans, the song is a duet with American singer-songwriter Keyshia Cole. The radio edit version of the song is featured on Cole's second studio album, Just like You (2007).

"Last Night" peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the second single from Press Play to peak within the top ten; it landed at number 42 on its year-end chart. Part of the recording session was shown on Cole's reality show, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, on BET in July 2006. The making of the video premiered on BET's Access Granted on January 31, 2007.

A sequel title, Last Night (Part 2) was released in 2010 from the album Last Train to Paris by Diddy–Dirty Money.

Background

The song is a modern classic styled song. "Last Night" samples the drumbeat of the songs "Erotic City" and "Raspberry Barrett", but slightly modified to increase the bass. During BET's Access Granted, Diddy brought up the fact that Cole re-recorded her parts multiple times, and the two had many artistic differences on the song. The recording of the song was featured on Cole's reality show The Way It Is. On the UK radio version of the song, Diddy is heard talking on the phone only with the explicit words censored out at the end. The radio version of the song fades out before the phone dials, while the clean album version of the song still has this part only with the explicit words censored out.

Composition

"Last Night" is written in the key of E minor (recorded a half-step lower in E{{flat}} minor). The song moves at a tempo of 121 beats per minute, and the vocals in the song span from B₃ to D₅.{{Cite web|title = Last Night|url = http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0071365|website = www.musicnotes.com|date = 2 February 2009|access-date = 2016-01-15}}

Chart performance

"Last Night" peaked at number ten on the Hot 100, becoming his second top-ten hit off Press Play and to date last top 10 of Diddy on the chart. The track was a moderate hit worldwide.

Live performance

On June 26, 2007, Diddy performed "Last Night" at the 2007 BET Awards which featured Cole and Lil' Kim.
