"Freak Tonight" is a song by Australian singer and songwriter Israel Cruz. It was written by Cruz and released as the lead single from his second studio album, The Legacy. It was made available for digital download on 18 March 2009, followed by a CD release on 23 March 2009. The song only managed to reach number 68 on the ARIA Physical Singles Chart. A club-themed music video accompanied the single's release.

Australian pop duo Scarlett Belle covered the song in 2010, which featured guest vocals from Cruz and rapper Miracle. Their version of "Freak Tonight" peaked at number 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

A writer for Auspop was impressed with the song's "infectious lyrics and stomping bassline". A writer from Tone Casualties Music commented that "it would be the perfect tune to listen to when all you want to do is to veg out or do nothing at all." Editors from Pop Trash Addicts compared to the song to Taio Cruz. On 30 March 2009, "Freak Tonight" debuted at number 94 on the ARIA Physical Singles Chart and peaked at number 68 the following week. It spent seven consecutive weeks on the chart.

The video begins with crowds of people making an entrance into what seems to be a party. It then cuts to Cruz being surrounded by a large crowd as they dance slowly. There is also a scene which cuts to a human with vampire-like fangs bitting into the neck of a woman. Cruz and the crowd then begin to move past a bar. A zombie-like woman then performs choreography backed by a group of both male and female dancers. The final scene incorporates Cruz with vampire-like fangs biting into the shoulders of another female, and then cuts to the crowd dancing whilst raising their arms high once again.

"Freak Tonight" was covered by Australian pop duo Scarlett Belle and released as their second single. Featuring guest vocals from both Cruz and rapper Miracle, the song was made available for digital download on 10 September 2010. When interviewed by The Daily Telegraph, Tamara Jaber, a member of the duo, said they wanted to release "something upbeat and fun", following her split from ex-husband Kyle Sandilands and her appearance on Dancing with the Stars.
