"Up All Night" is Matt Willis's debut single as a solo artist. It was released as a single on 22 May 2006 and appears on his debut album, Don't Let It Go to Waste. Its style marks a move towards more rock-influenced music than the songs Willis released when performing as part of Busted and could possibly be categorized as stadium pop.

The song is about how Willis keeps thinking of a girl, and as a result cannot sleep at night. It debuted at #52 on the UK Singles Chart on download sales alone. The following week, it peaked at #7 after the physical release. It stayed in the UK chart for a total of four weeks.

The video for "Up All Night" features Willis in a house late at night and flashes back and forth between scenes of Willis having difficulty sleeping and Willis in the midst of a party. It reached #1 on The Hits and was the focus of an MTV UK "Making Of" special. Willis's first televised performance of "Up All Night" took place on 7 May 2006 on Top of the Pops. He then performed the song again on the same show on 28 May 2006, three weeks since his TV debut.
