"Love Tonight" on YouTube |
"Love Tonight" is a song by Australian-New Zealand electronic music duo Shouse, released on 14 December 2017, through Australian label Hell Beach, a sub-label of Onelove Recordings Australia, who also marketed the record independently. The song was mixed by Matthew "Horse" Hadley, with additional mixing and mastering by Cass Irvine and Kevin Grainger at Wired Studios London. "Love Tonight" rose to prominence in 2021, becoming a sleeper hit, after several remixes were released.
At the AIR Awards of 2022, the song won Best Independent Dance, Electronica or Club Single. [1] [2]
Shouse recorded "Love Tonight" in early 2016 at a warehouse in Brunswick, Victoria. [3] [4] It was the first track the duo created together and came about during a jam session. They reworked the song several times before having the idea of including a choir, although some components remained the same, namely the bassline, and the flute melody that was created with a MIDI controller. [5] It was mixed by Matthew Hadley. [6]
A house song, "Love Tonight" is composed in the key of C minor with a tempo of 123 beats per minute. [7] [8] It features saxophone played by Tony Barnao and a chorus sung by a choir consisting of the two Shouse members and 18 friends gathered by them, all of whom are amateur singers and Melbourne underground artists. The inclusion of the choir was intended as both a parody and an homage to 1980s Band Aid and the 1985 song "We Are the World". The choir includes eight lead singers: Bec Rigby, Oscar Slorach-Thorne, Christobel Elliott, Tony Barna, Maia, Daisy Catterall, Monte Morgan, and Mohini. [3] According to Ed Service from the duo, the song is about unity, togetherness and community. [4] Member Jack Madin, the writer of the lyrics, explained that it is about "the love of your friends" and "for all the people in Melbourne that make [Shouse] want to make music." [3]
"Love Tonight" was premiered online by British bimonthly magazine i-D on 21 November 2017. An accompanying music video directed by James Robinson was released on YouTube the previous day. [3] [6] The video embodies a lo-fi photography aesthetic with making of montages from personal studio recordings. [9] A portion of the budget and proceeds made from the song were donated to the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria. [3] The single was released to digital and streaming services on 14 December 2017, through Australian label Hell Beach, a sub label of Onelove. [7] [8] To promote the release, Shouse held release shows in Melbourne and played at the Gaytimes Festival in Victoria. [5]
"Love Tonight" first charted in August 2019 in Lithuania where it peaked at number 15 on the AGATA Singles Chart, a week after debuting at number 31. [10] In July 2021, the song appeared on several other charts following the release of the David Guetta remix and a rise in popularity on TikTok. [11] [12] It entered the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart at number 20 with a total of 582,000 streams in its first charting week. [13] The following month, it topped the US Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, receiving its core support from electronic dance music channel BPM, San Francisco radio station KMVQ-HD2 and Music Choice's dance channel. [14] The song became Shouse's first top 10 entry on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, registering 2 million streams and 1,100 download sales during the week of its climb from number 11 to number nine. [15] It peaked at number eight the following week. [16]

[18] According to Music Week , the David Guetta remix accounted for 65% of its sales during the single's surge of popularity in the UK. [19] The track received a platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which denotes track-equivalent sales of 600,000 units. [20] In Australia, "Love Tonight" peaked at number 22 in its ninth week on the ARIA Singles Chart.
