Bandmember Tom Fletcher, was quoted in an Instagram post talking about the emotional, reflective song saying; “We’re incredibly proud of this song, it’s about seeing someone you think is perfect, someone you idolise and realising they are flawed and that allows you to accept your own imperfections and your own flaws and seizing the moment.”

Drummer Harry Judd also said; “In a way ‘Tonight is the Night’ is the perfect summary of the album because it’s got this classic Tom melody but with Danny production flourishes and great harmonies and hints of (McFly’s 2006 album) ‘Motion in the Ocean.'”

Tonight is the Night is the third single released by the band, Growing Up with Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus came out in September and Happiness was released at the end of July. Young Dumb Thrills will be McFly’s first studio album since they reunited after a seven-year hiatus. It has been previously reported that the band took the break after there was tension among the band members as they all took on solo projects. Thankfully, the band is back and this new album sounds like a new and interesting sound.

Tonight is the Night is available on all streaming platforms, Young Dumb Thrills will be released on the 13th of November.
