"Tonight", the third single from Phoenix's seventh album, Alpha Zulu, arrived on 7 September 2022 carrying a first for the French band: a guest singer. The voice they let in belongs to Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, and he slips into their breezy pop rock as if he'd always had a key to the studio.
The video, released the same day, was shot in Tokyo and Paris. Phoenix took the song to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Later... with Jools Holland, and it found its way into the games FIFA 23 and MLB The Show 23. Glassnote put the single out.
