Brooklyn. Friday. Love. is a song by The Midnight. It is the fourth single and second track from their album Heroes. The single was released on August 3, 2022.[1]

The song was written by band members Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan alongside Nikki Flores and Royce Whittaker. It was produced by McEwan. It has a running time of three minutes and 52 seconds and is in the key of F major. Brooklyn. Friday. Love. has its roots in Lyle's From The Secret Lair project, first appearing on episodes 7 and 25 of season one before being released on Mr. Green's B Sides. A breakdown of the track by McEwan was streamed on Twitch on August 5, 2022.[2]

In an interview with Magnetic Magazine, Lyle elaborated on the song's meaning:[3]

I wrote the initial version of Brooklyn. Friday. Love. in 2016 as a surf rock song while I was living in Ft. Greene. On days when I couldn’t stand staring at my computer screen anymore- usually around 4:00, I would get on a Citibike and ride up Flushing Avenue around the Navy Yard to Williamsburg.

My wife was working long hours at a corporate job in Midtown and usually wasn’t home before 8, so I would walk, well, I would walk and drink Happy Hour bourbon and cokes at Skinny Dennis, and I would look for books at Spoonbill & Sugartown, and vinyl at Rough Trade.

There was a refreshingly weird creative energy that permeated gentrifying Brooklyn that I’d never felt before. It struck me as a kind of weirdo heaven for a kid who grew up in the Bible Belt. When I die I want to go to Skinny Dennis and hear Zydeco or some Bushwick loft party Modular Synth set. Anyway, the place changed.

Apple and Whole Foods soon arrived in Williamsburg and Ft. Greene, the rents went up, the neighbors were no longer starving artist types. My wife and I also grew up- we had a baby and shortly thereafter we decided to end our five year relationship with Brooklyn.

The song became a Midnight song in 2021- two years after I left Brooklyn for Atlanta. I went back to visit New York for the first time during a lull in COVID waves to see my old neighborhood. 1/3 of the businesses were closed. There was more graffiti, and trash piled on the street like I’d never seen it before. I felt like I was seeing the ghost of an old friend. Reworking the song as an idyll to fit The Midnight felt like a way to honor the strangeness and vibrancy of a Brooklyn that seemed to disappear.

Thankfully most of the splendor has returned to the shabby neighborhoods I love, but I’m approaching my late 30s now, with a family and a mortgage and a more predictable life. The thought of drinking absinthe, or staying up past midnight to watch live music, or spending a day writing indie pop songs in an unheated Bushwick squat is unimaginable. This song is about an ideal that may still exist. It just can’t exist for me anymore.

The Midnight concert chronology

The Fall 2023 North American Tour was the sixth concert tour by The Midnight.[4] Announced in April 2023, the tour began on September 16, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia, and concluded on October 21, 2023, in Monterrey, Mexico. With the exception of the final two dates which took place in Mexico, all shows were in the United States.

The Fall 2023 North American Tour featured a diverse array of songs from across all of The Midnight's releases. The tour saw Tim McEwan return to the front of the stage playing synths and pads, having previously performed with a full drum kit since the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour. During the tour, the band played for the first time at the music festivals Music Midtown in Atlanta and Live Out in Monterrey. Additionally, they opened for ODESZA on their The Last Goodbye Tour on October 19, 2023, The Midnight's first time being a supporting act and their first performance in Mexico since 2019.

25 shows were performed over the span of six weeks, the longest individual run of shows for The Midnight since they began touring in 2018. The band's lineup, unchanged since the spring leg of the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour, consisted of Tim McEwan on percussion and synths, Tyler Lyle on guitar and vocals, Lelia Broussard on guitar and bass, Royce Whittaker on guitar, and Justin Klunk on saxophone.
