"Set the Night to Music" is a song written by Diane Warren and recorded by American rock band Starship for their second LP, No Protection (1987). It became a major hit for American singer Roberta Flack in 1991. Starship's original version became a Top-10 hit on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, reaching number nine in the spring of 1988, and also charted minorly in Canada. The song appeared at the end credits of the 1988 fantasy-comedy film Vice Versa starring Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage.
Cash Box said of the Starship version that "punctuated by lush strings and acoustic guitars, it's as warm and appealing a ballad as they have ever put on record."
