“Tonight's the Night” by Little Birdy

"Tonight's the Night" was the second single from BigBigLove, the debut album by Perth's Little Birdy, and Eleven put it out on 29 November 2004 with Virgin/EMI handling distribution. Like the rest of the record, Paul McKercher produced it at Big Jesus Burger Studios, with the mix done at Studios 301, and it brought a fifth player into the fold: Fergus Deasy, Eskimo Joe's touring guitarist, on guitar and keyboards. It scraped into the ARIA singles chart at number 76.

Guitarist Simon Leach told the Sydney Morning Herald the song was old school, with a big '80s pop streak running through its keys and arpeggios, and The Blurb's Evan Alexander heard jangling chords breaking up a stuttering intro before Katy Steele's breathy vocal moved to the front. The single came backed with two remixes of "Losing You" and a demo of "Forever".
