Last Night as a Walkup Song

by Morgan Wallen

Preview

Is "Last Night" a good walkup song?

The hook lands in the first 5 seconds — fast for a country song. The tempo is unusually quick for the genre, which makes it a true ignition walkup. And Wallen's cultural dominance in 2026 means every player on the team probably knows the song already.

Notable players who've used it

Last Night has been the #1 most-used walkup song in SEC baseball in 2025 and 2026. Morgan Wallen is the most-played walkup artist in the conference by a mile. Beyond college, it's a top-25 walkup across all of baseball and the most popular country walkup pick at the high school and travel ball level.

How to trim "Last Night" for a walkup

Start at 0:00, run for 18 seconds. The hook hits immediately. The opening 18 seconds is the trim — no need to wait for the chorus.

The trim point is the difference between a great walkup song and a great walkup. A song's first 15-20 seconds rarely happen to be the best 15-20 seconds — most popular tracks have a build, an intro, or a bridge before the hook lands. Pick the slice that hits hardest. The last second of your trim window should land on a peak, right as the player steps into the box.

Best for

• Any hitter
• Young players
• Softball players

Clean / explicit version notes

"Last Night" has no explicit content — it's safe for any age and any league. No need for a clean version or careful trimming. Pick the song, set the trim, lock it in.

How to set up "Last Night" for your team

Setting up a walkup song requires three things: an app that handles per-player audio, custom trim points, and one-tap playback on game day.

1. Build your roster in Walkup Pro — assign "Last Night" to the player who picked it
2. Scrub to 0:00 and set the trim duration to 18 seconds
3. Connect a Bluetooth speaker at the field (a JBL Charge or similar will cover any youth field — see our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers for a baseball field)
4. On game day, tap to play as the player walks to the box
