"After Midnight" is the fourth track from the 1970 album titled Eric Clapton. It was written by J. J. Cale and first released in 1966 but when Clapton's rendition became a success, it prompted Cale to re-record the song for Cale's 1972 album Naturally. In 1988, Clapton later re-recorded the song for a Michelob beer commercial and then released the re-recording as a single. "After Midnight" has been considered one of Clapton's signature songs throughout his career.
