Composition
"I Don't Wanna Go to Bed" is a pop rock and funk song written in the key of D minor. It features guitar riffs, horns and a beat reminiscent of "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.[6]
Release and reception
The song was released on October 15, 2015, with an accompanying music video released on the band's YouTube channel the same day.[7] The song received mixed reactions from music critics: Fuse's first impressions being "confused and delighted".[4] Collin Brennan from Consequence of Sound criticized it for being a poor imitation of "Uptown Funk", calling it "a generic pop song that’s a shade too wimpy for the rock club or the nightclub."[6]
