The song was written by Sharon Corr and released on 6 December 2004 in the United Kingdom.

Even though it was not a hit around Europe or Australia, it became popular in Brazil after its use on a famous prime time national soap opera Senhora do Destino.

[citation needed] The video for "Long Night" only features Andrea and, very briefly, Sharon during her violin solo.

Apart from that, we see different versions of Andrea moving backwards through a love affair with a young man.

The location for the video shooting was Chicheley Hall in Buckinghamshire, which was built in the 18th century and is still open for public today.
