Tonight (New Kids on the Block song)

"Tonight" is a song by American pop band New Kids on the Block, released in July 1990 by Columbia Records as the third single from their fourth album, Step by Step (1990). It was written by Maurice Starr and Al Lancellotti and produced by Starr. A big hit on both sides of the Atlantic, the song first reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 (becoming their 9th and last top 10), and then number three on the UK Singles Chart following its American success.

"Tonight" is "half slow tempo, half ska" and is mostly sung in unison by all five members of the group until the "la la..." section of the chorus. The song "discusses the relationship that binds the members of the group to their fans, since the beginning", with many references to their earlier hits in the first couplet. Most of the song is heavily influenced by various songs of the Beatles.
