"'This Night'" is a song by Billy Joel and the sixth single from his album 'An Innocent Man'. The basis of the song's chorus uses the second movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's 'Pathtique Sonata'. Beethoven is credited as one of the song's writers on the sleeve of the album as "L.v. Beethoven". Joel has said in interviews that "This Night" was written about his brief relationship with supermodel Elle Macpherson, whom he dated just prior to second wife Christie Brinkley.
The song was released as a single only in the UK and Japan, reached number 78 on the UK Singles Chart and number 88 on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart.
In the United States, "This Night" was the B-side of "Leave a Tender Moment Alone".
