The Cars - Tonight She Comes (Extended Remix)from the album Greatest Hits (1985) 'New wave'

"Tonight She Comes" is a 1985 song by American rock band the Cars from their Greatest Hits album. It was released as a single in October 1985, reaching number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1986. The song reached number one on the Top Rock Tracks chart, where it stayed for three weeks.

"Tonight She Comes" was written by Cars singer and guitarist Ric Ocasek, who had originally intended to save the song for his solo career; however, the song was instead recorded as a standalone single. Ocasek recalled, "I was in the middle of recording my solo album and it was one of the songs I didn't use in the solo album at that point. That was like a one-off single that we just all came together and did."

"Tonight She Comes" was the Cars' fourth and last Top 10 hit. It was the first of two songs to be released as a single from their album of Greatest Hits. A remixed version of "I'm Not the One", previously recorded in 1981 for the album Shake It Up, was the second. A music video was made, and was put into heavy rotation on MTV.

Cash Box said that the song "captures the group’s technologically astute and emotionally problematic songwriting perspective." AllMusic critic Greg Prato, in his review of Greatest Hits, described the track as "playful", while Tim Sendra, also of AllMusic, said in his review of The Essentials that the track (among the others on said album), was "definitely essential".
