"I Need You Tonight" was the second single released from the Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s debut album, Conspiracy. The album version featured Faith Evans singing the chorus, while the single version had Aaliyah singing instead, and was produced by DJ Clark Kent, who sampled Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam and Full Force's hit single "I Wonder If I Take You Home and Patrice Rushen's 1982 classic hit song "Remind Me". Though "I Need You Tonight" did not find the success of the album's other two singles, it did become a minor hit on three different Billboard charts.

The music video featured the members and Aaliyah holding a house party at Kim's house while she flies to Columbia to negotiate a deal with a drug lord.
