"The Kid Is Hot Tonite" is a song by Canadian rock band Loverboy, released in 1981 as the second and final single from their self-titled debut album. The song is interpreted by some to be about up-and-coming fellow Canadian musician Bryan Adams. While not as big a chart success as their debut single "Turn Me Loose", the song still reached number 20 in Canada and number 55 in the United States.
AllMusic called it "a radio-ready rocker that slickly balances mid-tempo guitar riffs with surging synthesizer lines". Record World stated the song has "winning guitar/synthesizer strains and a smashing chorus hook."
