Background and critical reception

"This song is about being in a relationship with somebody and getting into arguments that will not work out that night. It's also one of my favorite songs on the album." [ [http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=12568 Tonight by The Jonas Brothers] , Songfacts.com]
