It 's a magical night and he does n't want it to end. It 's got a big fun chorus in it. '' He co-wrote the song with Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson, and Ben Hayslip, collectively known as The Peach Pickers. After Hayslip provided the title, Bryan began playing a melody on a guitar. Hayslip then said that his publisher, Randy Gaston, recommended that he write `` a song that talks about putting your hands up in the chorus ''. The song is in A minor, at a moderate tempo of approximately 112 beats per minute. The verses use a chord pattern of Am - G - Fsus2 three times, with a C-G-F pattern twice on the chorus followed by the original pattern of Am - G - Fsus2 twice. It ends on the Fsus2 chord. Critical reception Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four stars out of five, calling the chorus `` pretty memorable '' and saying that the writers `` did a nice job of not over-thinking things. '' Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song three and a half stars of five, writing that the chorus is `` infectious and sing - a-long ready '' and the song is `` strong, well - written '' and `` sounds great on the radio, just like it will in concerts.
