About This Track
According to the Stay The Night Songfacts, it marked the first time Blunt has written with two other songwriters in the same room or started a song from scratch.
The single received an exclusive advance-release in Austria on September 10, 2010. The single was released on October 25, 2010.
“Stay the Night” was first written after Blunt stated he was “tired of writing self-pitying songs”. In an interview for STV, Blunt claimed: “After the last tour I tried writing at the piano, but I was repeating myself, writing sad songs about poor old me. I needed to get away from music for a while. My new songs, most prominently ‘Stay the Night’, are more optimistic. One thing I did learn is that your artistic credibility goes out the window when you have a big record. ‘You’re Beautiful’ meant something to me, but to most people, it’s a song they sing when they’re drunk.”
The lyrics in “Stay the Night” feature a reference to Bob Marley’s classic “Is This Love” in the lines: Just like the song on our radio set / We’ll share the shelter of my single bed. Marley is credited as a co-writer.
