Closing time, open all the doors And let you out into the world Closing time, turn all of the lights on Over every boy and every girl Closing time, one last call for alcohol So finish your whiskey or beer Closing time, you don't have to go home But you can't stay here I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home Closing time, time for you to go out To the places you will be from Closing time, this room won't be open Till your brothers or your sisters come So gather up your jackets, move into the exits I hope you have found a friend Closing time, every new beginning Comes from some other beginning's end I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home Closing time, time for you to go out To the places you will be from I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home Closing time, every new beginning Comes from some other beginning's end

A música foi lançada em 23 de fevereiro de 1998 como single principal do álbum *Feeling Strangely Fine* e passou a ser tocada em rádios mainstream a partir de 27 de abril do mesmo ano.
Escrita por Dan Wilson e produzida por Nick Launay, a faixa alcançou o primeiro lugar na lista Billboard Modern Rock Tracks dos EUA.
Em 1999 foi nomeada para o prêmio Grammy de Melhor Canção Rock na 41ª edição do evento.
Em 2011 a canção reapareceu nas paradas de três países depois de ser incluída no filme *Friends with Benefits* e no episódio “Doomsday” da oitava temporada da série *The Office*, atingindo seus maiores picos de popularidade na Austrália e na Irlanda nesse período.
Apesar de ser interpretada como uma ode à saída de um bar ao fim de noite, o baterista Jacob Slichter revelou que a letra também foi escrita por Wilson “em antecipação à paternidade”, simbolizando o nascimento como um “bouncer” liberando alguém do ventre.
