"Last Night" explores some popular country music tropes: Regret and hitting the bottle too hard. The storytelling is a pretty straightforward reflection of a previous night with a romantic partner, although the narrator admits that his drinking has made his recollection of what exactly went down somewhat hazy. Morgan Wallen sets the scene by dropping the title over a twangy riff. "Last night, we let the liquor talk," he sings. But the song's title takes on a second meaning after he shares some of the hurtful things that were said. Now, he's trying hard to convince himself that his relationship isn't over: "You told me that you wish I was somebody you never met / But baby, baby, something's tellin' me this ain't over yet / No way it was our last night."

We then learn one reason he's finding it so difficult to accept that his lover might not be coming back: He showed her a really good time. "I kiss your lips / Make you grip the sheets with your fingertips," he sings. But add some Jack Daniels to the equation, and the passion quickly sours.

There's also a revelation that this wasn't the first time these lovers lashed out at each other: "You know you love to fight / And I say s**t, I don't mean." So, this sad cycle will likely continue if his lover ever returns, and this relationship might be too toxic to redeem.
