"After Hours" is a song by American singer-songwriter Kehlani. It was released through Atlantic Records as the lead single from her fourth studio album, Crash, on April 4, 2024.[1] The song was produced by Lionel Bermingham and Elijah Wells.[2] On May 24, 2024, a remix of the song using the instrumental of Destiny's Child's 2005 song "Cater 2 U" was released.[3] An official remix of the song, featuring Brazilian singer Ludmilla, was released on August 28, 2024, through Kehlani's While We Wait 2 mixtape.

Background

Kehlani first previewed "After Hours" on March 5, 2024, through her TikTok and began promoting the track throughout March.[4] On March 25, Kehlani posted an official snippet of the track and made the preview sound available on TikTok and YouTube.[5][6] They officially announced the single and its release date on April 1.[7]

Composition

"After Hours" contains a sample of Cordell "Skatta" Burrell's dancehall riddim "Coolie Dance Riddim", which was popularised in Nina Sky's April 2004 top-ten single, "Move Ya Body" featuring Jabba, and has been crowned a "summer anthem" by music critics.[8][9] The track "sees Kehlani lean into the levity of radio-friendly RnB" and is described as a "frivolous club-inclined track".[9]
