"Superman Tonight" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It is the second single release from the band's eleventh studio album The Circle. The single was released on January 25, 2010. On December 12, 2009, Bon Jovi performed the song on Saturday Night Live.
Jon explained: "It's a girl, which I watched from a distance without any possibility to do something. She is in a way like a pinball - reflects a lot of guys, very beautiful and smart but thinks it would be happier if more trusted. This song is something like a diary of the observer and I'm just the fly on the wall of what looks".
The video premiered on Vevo on Wednesday, February 3, followed by a television premiere on VH1 on Saturday, February 6. It features the band performing in an inflatable tunnel (which resembles the cover for The Circle). Parts of it show a tribute to everyday "superheroes".
