”Tonight” is the moment before you let yourself fall in love completely. It’s the fear of opening yourself up to heartbreak vs the fear of losing what could be. It’s the internal struggle of playing it safe or diving in head first.” - Alicia Toner ⁠

Written while in the midst of a divorce and at the same time falling in love, "Tonight" is one of the few songs on the project drawn from Alicia's feelings in the moment, as opposed to drawn from her past.

"Tonight" is a gripping Americana/Rock track that combines her Folk influences with a driving guitar beat and modern synth elements. A song about teetering on the edge of love before letting go, Alicia aims to have listeners recall their own similar experiences, citing the comfort and relatability the prolific singer-songwriter has found in some of the artists who inspire her most. For the first time on any of Alicia's songs, the track features a portion of computerized vocals, a musical component that at the time was brand new to the artist. Placing the driving guitar rhythm alongside Alicia's powerful yet tender vocals and Joey Landreth's soulful harmonies, "Tonight" showcases the endless and masterful creativity of one of the Atlantic Canada's most prolific artists.
