"We've Got Tonite" (sic) is a song written by American Bob Seger, from his 1978 album Stranger in Town. It was a hit single for Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, reaching No. 13 on the US pop charts. In the UK, it reached No. 41 in 1979, later making it to No. 22 during a 1995 re-release to promote a Greatest Hits album, while in 1982 a live version from the in-concert album Nine Tonight reached No. 60.

It also played in the background of Melissa Sue Anderson's 1979 TV film Survival of Dana, in a scene where Anderson's character was visiting one of her new friends' homes and was in a room with co-star Robert Carradine's character Donny Davis, whom she was falling for. In Season 4, episode 4 of Ray Donovan, Liev Schreiber sings a karaoke version of the song, then a reprise to his wife as the episode ends.

In 1983, country-pop star Kenny Rogers recorded the song as a duet with pop star Sheena Easton, and made it the title track of his album We've Got Tonight. It reached number one on the Billboard Country Singles chart, number six on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, and number two on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. It also reached the top 30 in the United Kingdom.


"We've Got Tonight" was remade by Lulu and Ronan Keating for Together a 2002 album release featuring Lulu with a number of diverse duet partners: the track, also featured on Keating's album Destination, was issued as a single – credited to "Ronan Keating featuring Lulu" – reaching #4 UK and becoming an international hit reaching #7 in the Netherlands, #12 in Australia, #14 in Belgium, #10 in Ireland, #25 in Sweden and #46 in New Zealand. In some territories the single was released with Lulu's vocal replaced by that of Jeanette Biedermann: credited to "Ronan Keating featuring Jeanette" the track was a hit in Austria (#6), Germany (#7) and Switzerland (#25). In Italy the track was issued with the Italian Soul singer Giorgia Todrani as Keating's duet partner but failed to chart. This track is also featured on Keating's album "Destination". In the Philippines, Keating performed the song with Kyla.
