This Could Be the Night (Loverboy song)

Last updated

"This Could Be the Night" is a song written by Paul Dean, Mike Reno, Bill Wray and Jonathan Cain, and recorded by the Canadian rock band Loverboy from their hit album, Lovin' Every Minute of It , released in 1985. The song contained much more of a style that represented 1980s power ballads than the rocking style for which the band had been known. Released as a single in 1986 with an accompanying black-and-white music video, it reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

Cash Box said that the "melodic, big-beat production features soaring guitars and string orchestration." [1] Billboard called it a "stately power ballad." [2]
