One More Night is the first single from Phil Collins' third album, No Jacket Required. "One More Night" was Phil Collins' second U.S. number-one single, following "Against All Odds", and was his fourth single to reach the top ten in the UK, peaking at number four on the singles chart. The video features Collins playing the piano in a downtown bar. Collins was playing around with his drum machine when he started saying the chorus of the song. He later recalled that "The rest of the song was written very quickly." The video features Collins playing the piano in a downtown bar. The music video for the song was filmed at a pub owned by Richard Branson in London. Its B-side in the UK was "I Like the Way", while the U.S. received "The Man with the Horn". Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times originally disliked the song "One More Night", but later praised the song, saying that "Collins' soulful but polite vocal style is also capable of capturing the pain of going through yet one more night without her." Isaac Guzman of the New York Daily News said that the song brought about "snuggle-inspiring tenderness". However, Keegan Hamilton of the Riverfront Times said that the song was the worst track on the album, saying that "The album's introspective slow jam wallows in self-pity." "It's minimalist, as far as the '80s go, relying mostly on a shaker, a crisp drum machine and echoing keyboards. It ends with a saxophone solo so smooth that I can't believe it's not butter," adds Keegan. The song has also been an occasional cover song for ex-Veruca Salt frontwoman, Nina Gordon during live appearances. An extended version of the song appeared on the 12"ers album.

Phil Collins Lyrics "One More Night" From The Album: "No Jacket Required" (1985) One more night, one more night I've been trying ooh so long to let you know Let you know how I feel And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back So I can make you see Please give me one more night, give me one more night One more night cos I can't wait forever Give me just one more night, oh just one more night Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever I've been sitting here so long Wasting time, just staring at the phone And I was wondering should I call you Then I thought maybe you're not alone Please give me one more night, give me just one more night Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever Give me one more night, give me just one more night Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever Like a river to the sea I will always be with you And if you sail away I will follow you Give me one more night, give me just one more night Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same And I know it's only words But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here And maybe we both can learn Give me just one more night, give me just one more night Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever Give me just one more night, give me just one more night Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever Writer(s): Phil Collins
