"Give Me Tonight" is a 1984 song released as a single by Shannon, an American R&B and dance artist. Released as the follow-up single to her smash debut single, "Let the Music Play," "Give Me Tonight" was not as successful as its predecessor on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #46. It did, however, receive the same enthusiastic response in the dance clubs as did her previous single, hitting the top spot on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in March of 1984 and remaining there for two weeks. It also was a significant Urban hit, reaching #6 on the American R&B chart. Internationally, the song peaked at #24 on the UK singles chart.
