"After Hours" is a song by American singer Kehlani released through Atlantic Records on April 4, 2024, and is expected to be the lead single for her upcoming fourth studio album Crash.[1] The song was produced by Lionel Bermingham and Elijah Wells.[2]

Kehlani first previewed "After Hours" on March 5, 2024, through her TikTok and began promoting the track throughout March.[3] On March 25, Kehlani posted an official snippet of the track and made the preview sound available on TikTok and YouTube.[4][5] They officially announced the single and its release date on April 1.[6]

Composition

"After Hours" contains a sample of Nina Sky's April 2004 top-ten single, "Move Ya Body" featuring Jabba, and has been crowned a "summer anthem" by music critics.[7][8] The track "sees Kehlani lean into the levity of radio-friendly RnB" and is described as a "frivolous club-inclined track".[8]
