In an interview with Essentially Pop, George Sheppard said “"Edge of the Night" isn’t your typical Sheppard track, It’s a tongue in cheek funk pop throwback to house parties and old school vibes. It’s an opportunity for us to let our hair down and try something completely different.” [2]
A Spanish language version was released in July 2017, featuring Sebastián Yatra.
