Composition and lyrics
Who made the song One More Night?
One More Night (Maroon 5 song)
"One More Night" was written by Adam Levine, Shellback, Max Martin, and Savan Kotecha, while production was handled by Martin and Shellback. It is a pop song, with a reggae beat infused into the percussion, giving the song a more dancey feel. The song is in the key of F minor and in 4/4 time. Lyrically, the song is built upon the idea of the quintessential push and pull between what the heart, mind and body want, which are usually opposing things. It starts with Adam Levine's "Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh", underlined by a reggae beat. "You and I go hard at each other like we're goin' to war", Levine sings and then tempers that statement by saying, "Try to tell you ‘no but my body keeps on telling you ‘yes’", lamenting over not being able to resist the atrractive charms of an addictive person. The chorus finds Levine bewitched by someone he knows he shouldn’t be with: "So I cross my heart and I hope to die / That I’ll only stay with you one more night / And I know I said it a million times / But I’ll only stay with you one more night. "Regarding the song's theme, Amy Sciaretto of "PopCrush" defined the track: "The song is erected on a thumped out beat, in addition to Levine’s signature falsetto, where he tosses off lyrics about not getting along with (or being able to untangle himself from) his lady love. Levine is hoping he only stays with her just 'one more night'."
