"Give Me Tonight" is a 1984 song released as a single by Shannon, an American R&B and dance artist. Released as the follow-up single to her smash debut single, "Let the Music Play," "Give Me Tonight" was not as successful as its predecessor on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #46. It did, however, receive the same enthusiastic response in the dance clubs as did her previous single, hitting the top spot on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in March of 1984 and remaining there for two weeks. It also was a significant Urban hit, reaching #6 on the American R&B chart. Internationally, the song peaked at #24 on the UK singles chart.

*In 1995 Leila K released the song "Electric." The chorus (sung by Jessica Folcker) has the same melody as "Give Me Tonight". Chris Barbosa and Ed Chisolm shares songwriting credits together with Denniz PoP, Max Martin, Herbie Crichlow and Leila K.

It should be noted that this song has a nearly identical drum machine pattern as the original version of Exposé's later song "Point of No Return."
