As letras supostamente africanas da música, como "Tam bo li de say de moi ya" e "Jambo jumbo", são na verdade nonsense, admitido pelo próprio Lionel Richie em uma entrevista à imprensa.
Richiedescreveu a inclusão dessas falas sem significado real como uma "maravilhosa piada", criada quando ele percebeu que não tinha tempo de contratar um tradutor para incluir as letras em língua estrangeira que desejava.
A faixa atingiu o primeiro lugar em três gráficos da Billboard simultaneamente: pop, R&B e adulto contemporâneo.
No Reino Unido, a música atingiu o pico na segunda posição das paradas de singles.
A canção combina o estilo dos Commodores de Richie com influências caribenhas.
"All Night Long (All Night)" é originária do segundo álbum solo de Lionel Richie, Can't Slow Down, lançado em 1983.
