"Fight Night" is a hardcore hip hop song by American hip hop-trap trio Migos. It was released as a single on April 8, 2014 by Quality Control Music and 300 Entertainment. The song was included on their mixtape No Label 2 (2014) and was produced by Stack Boy Twan. It has since peaked at number 69 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the group's second most successful single to date, after Bad and Boujee. A remix was made by fellow American rapper Tyga.
Critical reception
Brian Josephs of HotNewHipHop said that the song represents Migos' delivery of high-energy Atlanta rap, saying that "This isn't a throwaway track, but a confidently sold Bay Area Hyphy scene sendoff."[1]
Pitchfork Media ranked the song at number 56 on its list of the 100 Best Tracks of 2014. Pitchfork staff writer David Drake said "In its misunderstanding of a pre-existing template, it reached more directly for the pop jugular. Each line was quotable, delivered with the unapologetic confidence of a group willing to say whatever they can get away with. While perhaps not always the best bedroom strategy, 'Fight Night' does hit on the mania of lust more directly than anyone else."[2]
Commercial performance
The song peaked at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2014, making it their second highest charting song. In 2016, their song Bad and Boujee, featuring Lil Uzi Vert would reach number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.
