On 25 January 2014, it was announced that the video would premiere on Vevo at midnight on 31 January. The official music video was filmed in London in December 2013. It was less successful in the UK upon its release, only just managing to peak inside the top 40 at number 39. It has since peaked in the top 10 of nine other countries around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, the Netherlands and Spain. The song was released on 20 November 2013, five days prior to the release of the album, and debuted at number three on the Irish Singles Chart the following day. On 25 November, in a track-by-track review on Billboard writer Chris Payne and by Michael Craigg on the Daily Mirror opined that "it opens with groovy guitar licks, leads into a peppy pre-chorus, and rocks out in the chorus behind a riff reminiscent of Def Leppard's " Pour Some Sugar on Me." Chart performance On 24 January 2014, Payne revealed through a video on the band's YouTube channel that "Midnight Memories" would serve as the third single of the album outside the US. Or, just when you're young and that's when you kind of have all your experiences." We have so many memories of just being in the studio or being after a show or being in the back of the bus or going to one of the guys' places and hanging and writing. was between midnight and 5 in the morning. And midnight memories are where most of the memories of this record were made. Talking to MTV News about the track, Bunetta said, "It's the title of the album and it just happens to fall in line with Up All Night, Take Me Home, it's all references to in the evening. It is the second single to be written by members of the band, following the previous single of the same album, " Story of My Life".

Despite this truth, One Direction does a better job than the competition in upholding individuality, and even if Midnight Memories were an indicator of the imminent end, at least they're going out strong."Midnight Memories" was written by John Ryan, Jamie Scott, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Julian Bunetta and produced by Bunetta. No matter how personal a song may sound, it was made for the masses, not just you. It seems harsh, but the reality is One Direction has to rely on the generic to reach as large an audience as possible. A girl watches and listens, developing a fondness for the British boys based on little quirks she thinks only she knows about them, when in reality these feelings are replicated in 2 million other girls. The lyrics are generic, but they have to be with a band this huge. The songs tell lighthearted tales of numerous girl situations, reflecting the band's heartbreaker image, especially that of Harry Styles. Happily and Little Black Dress are standouts, with unique hooks and cheeky melodies. There are multiple numbers on Midnight Memories made with the upcoming arena tour in mind. They've ditched the bubble gum-pop formula for a little more integrity, including multifaceted instrumentals. This newfound complexity is thought by some to be a result of the boys' increased involvement in songwriting, but I think it's a result of the refined and updated composition and production of the songs. Finally it seems as if one of them said he wanted to sing songs he would actually enjoy listening to. It holds a new sophistication and curated flair that is obviously absent from the previous albums. Midnight Memories is by far their best collection yet.
