"Tonight" is a 1990 song recorded by the American pop band New Kids on the Block. It was their second single from their 1990 album Step by Step.

The song is "half slow tempo, half ska".[1] It is "autobiographical" and "discusses the relationship that binds the members of the group to their fans, since the beginning", with many references to their first hits in the first couplet.
