Tinashe brought “Melatonin” to Fallon. Good luck sleeping through that.

Tinashe performed “Popstar” and “Melatonin” on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, November 10. If you only saw the “Melatonin” Reel, there’s a whole other song in the full set. “Popstar” opens it and “Melatonin” follows with a dance breakdown. As an actual sleep aid, this booking seems wildly irresponsible. As late-night TV? I’m awake. ✨

What the Reel leaves out

The Tonight Show posted a separate Instagram clip of “Melatonin.” That Grape Juice covered the full medley and points to the show’s longer video, which includes the title track as well. The Reel works as a quick hit of the choreography. The full set gives the switch between the songs room to register, and that switch is a reason to watch the two together.

Both songs are from Tinashe’s album Popstar. That makes the booking a small sample of the same record in two different modes. The first half opens the set with the title track. The second half uses the dancers and the breakdown to make the physical performance part of what you hear. You can dip in at “Melatonin,” but it plays differently after the first song.

Why the late-night version matters

The performance took place in Studio 6B. Headline Planet’s photo coverage places Tinashe on the November 10 episode, while the clip itself appeared early the next morning Eastern. If you see both dates on different posts, that’s the difference between the episode and the social upload.
