Background

Another Lonely Night is the second single from his album The Original High. It was written by Lambert, Sterling Fox, Max Martin and Ali Payami, and produced by Martin and Payami. Payami performs bass, keyboards and percussion and programming on the record, while Sterling Fox provides background vocals; both his and Lambert's vocals were edited by Peter Carlsson, with engineering came from Sam Holland with assistance from Cory Bice and assistant mastering engineering from Randy Merrill.^[1]

Critical reception

Entertainment Focus noted that the song "gives more than a passing nod to the 80s."^[2] The New York Times commended its "strategic restraint" and said that it "could have come from the Top Gun soundtrack."^[3]

Music video

The music video premiered on October 9, 2015 and is directed by Luke Gilford.^[4] It depicts everyday events in the lives of four individuals in Las Vegas, Nevada: one employed as a singer in a nightclub, one as a chorus girl, one as a wedding officiant, and one as a male stripper. Each character performs for tourists but is depicted as lonely in their personal lives (though some have pets).^[5] One of the four individuals who star in the video is Gigi Gorgeous, a transgender actress.^[6][7]

Live performances

The first live performance after the release as the second single was at 538Live XXL in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on October 10, 2015.^[8] A few days later Lambert performed the song on the seven season of The X Factor Australia on October 20, 2015. Donning an animal-print jacket and a pompadour hairstyle, Lambert evoked the Elvis-impersonator character he had played in the "Another Lonely Night" video.^[9] Lambert performed the song during The Original High Tour.
