In this soft rock ballad, a lonely Phil Collins pleads with his lover to give him just one more night to prove his devotion (we're not sure how, but it sounds like he has a plan). It was his second #1 single in the US, the first being "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)."
Being a drummer at heart, it's not surprising that Collins started this song on a drum machine. He explained to Playboy that he was playing around with the machine when inspiration hit: "I had a tempo in mind. I was thinking of one of the Jacksons' songs actually when I strung a chorus on it. The line 'one more night' just fit what I was playing. The rest of the song was written very quickly."
Collins isn't trying to be a downer and says the lyrics "are more optimistic in a warm way rather than depressing in a negative way."
