Many critics viewed the song as single material and commended the production, but criticized the composition and lyrical content. The song debuted at 93 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at 31.

"The Night is Still Young" is written by Minaj, Ester Dean, Lukasz Gottwald, Donnie Lewis, Theron Thomas and Henry Walter, with additional production by Gottwald and Cirkut. Lyrically, the song is about partying and having fun; the verses revolve around a routine night out at a club.

"The Night is Still Young" is a disco-influenced pop song that lasts three minutes and forty-eight seconds. Writing for Consequence of Sound, Michael Madden felt the composition was "unadulterated pop." Garvey compared the composition to Minaj's tracks on her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Tyler Kane from Paste Magazine commented "[The Night is Still Young”] sounded like a song hand-penned for Ke$ha, so it wasn’t a surprise to discover the person behind the track was her estranged collaborator Dr. Luke, reigning king of themes like “tonight is the last night we will exist in human form, so let’s party it away at the club.” Nick Levine from Time Out labelled it "digital disco" music. Niki McGloster from Billboard said it was the "lovechild" of Minaj's 2010 single "Moment 4 Life" and her 2012 single "Starships". Shee commented "Minaj packs this club record with verses about seizing the night and enjoying the ride." "The Night Is Still Young" is written in the key of C♯ minor with a tempo of 124 beats per minute, and Minaj's vocals range from C♯4 to C♯5.
