An acoustic version featuring Paris Jackson, the original track is from the Old Sea Brigade album 5AM Paradise. The song centers on the simple pleasures of "falling asleep at quarter to nine." "Stayed Up Late" finds Old Sea Brigade'sBen Cramer entering his thirties and reflecting on both the hard-earned growth and set of fresh challenges that come with embarking on that new chapter in life. Above everything for Cramer is the desire to grow with the people you love, as opposed to apart from them, and rise through those daunting obstacles by each other's side.
