"It Ends Tonight" closed out the Move Along campaign for the All-American Rejects, the third and last single from their second album, sent out in September 2006. Nick Wheeler and Tyson Ritter wrote it late in the game, one of the final songs finished for the record along with the title track, and the band later let on in a Soundstage interview that it's about a guy, not a girlfriend.
Howard Benson produced, Mike Plotnikoff recorded and Chris Lord-Alge mixed, with Jamie Muhoberac on piano and a string section arranged by composer Deborah Lurie. Critics mostly liked it; About.com heard a dreamy, late-evening mood for the faithful but found it less distinctive than "Dirty Little Secret" or "Move Along", and called it a grandly ambiguous song about a generic breakup.
