Wikipedia article

Content
The lyrics in 'All About Tonight' focus around partying and living in the moment. Co-writer Rhett Akins told The Boot that they wanted to write a song about how they don't care about tomorrow because tomorrow can wait until tomorrow. Akins said "we just went from there and touched on things like I know I'm going to have a headache in the morning, and I'll probably be broke. There's no telling what we're going to do, and I don't even care because it's all about tonight. That's all I'm worried about! It's a good, fun party song about where the night is going to go. After we wrote it, we thought it sounds just like a Blake Shelton song."
Critical reception
Giving the song four and-a-half out of five stars, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock stated that "Even if All About Tonight isnt a deep song, it has that southern rock melody mixed with a good time joe attitude that clearly makes All About Tonight one of the most obvious hit singles of Blake Sheltons career to date"
Blake Boldt with 'Engine 145' gave the song a "thumbs down" rating, saying that "Shelton convinces as a liquored-up barfly whos itching for his next conquest. In a radio climate that favors long-term love affairs, a song that even suggests a one-night stand is a slightly-bold move. Thats about the only risk taken on Tonight, which swings along on a standard modern-country production with a touch of twang. The nifty slide guitar line in the bridge is a neat twist, but the rest of Tonight is a forgettable template plugged into a filler tune."
Music video
A live music video for the song was made and premiered on Country Music Television on June 16, 2010. It was directed by Jon Small. This is Blake's first live performance video.
