Composition
“These Nights” is a sophisticated track with an old-school style that features a memorable synthesizer sound. This track is also written by Chungha, Slanger, Montana Wayne Best, McCulloch Reid Sutphin, Jordan Orvosh and Rich Brian. “These Nights” is a song about existing for the nighttime and seizing the memorable moments one can make with their lover. The song serves as a stark difference to Brian’s debut song, Dat $tick and includes passionate modulated crooning rather than a harsh anti-authoritative attitude.[3]
Music video
The single was released through a hypnotizing music video that features the pair as they speed along a motorcycle, dancing together. It also shows Rich Brian rocking a bold mullet while holding an '80s-style brick phone. As Rich Brian comically locks eyes with the camera, the scene then transits to one where Chungha and him are riding a motorcycle into the night.[4]
