( October 2013 ) `` Need You Tonight '' Single by INXS from the album Kick B - side `` I 'm Coming ( Home ) '' `` Mediate '' ( music video ) Released 23 September 1987 1 June 2005 ( remixes ) Format 7 '' single 12 '' single CD single Cassette Genre Funk rock Length 3 : 00 Label Atlantic Mercury Records WEA Songwriter ( s ) Andrew Farriss Michael Hutchence Producer ( s ) Chris Thomas INXS singles chronology `` Good Times '' ( 1987 ) `` Need You Tonight '' ( 1987 ) `` Devil Inside '' ( 1988 ) `` Good Times '' ( 1987 ) `` Need You Tonight '' ( 1987 ) `` Devil Inside '' ( 1988 ) Music video `` Need You Tonight '' on YouTube `` Need You Tonight '' is the fourth song on INXS 's 1987 album Kick as well as the first single from the album released worldwide. It is the only INXS single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also achieved their highest charting position in the United Kingdom, where the song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart ; however, this peak was only reached after a re-release of the single in November 1988. On its first run on the UK Charts in October 1987, it stalled at No. 58. While it would arguably become the band 's signature song, it was one of the last songs recorded for the album. In February 2014, after the Channel 7 screening of the INXS : Never Tear Us Apart mini-series, `` Need You Tonight '' charted again in Australia via download sales. It peaked at No. 28 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

He asked the cab driver to wait a couple of minutes while he grabbed something from his motel room. In fact, he went up to record the riff and came back down an hour later with a tape to a very annoyed driver. The song is a much more electronic track than most of the band 's material before or after, combining sequencers with regular drum tracks and a number of tracks of layered guitars. To approximate the sound on the recorded track, the band often utilizes click tracks for a frequent synthesizer chord as well as rim shots heard throughout the song. On the Kick album, the song is linked to the next song, which is entitled either `` Mediate '' or `` Meditate '', depending on the pressing of the album. On some compilations, the two tunes appear together and on others, only `` Need You Tonight '' appears ( rarely, if ever, has `` Mediate '' appeared on its own ). Music video The music video combined live action and different kinds of animation. Directed by Richard Lowenstein, the video was actually `` Need You Tonight / Mediate '', as it combined two songs from the album. Lowenstein claimed that the particular visual effects in `` Need You Tonight '' were created by cutting up 35mm film and photocopying the individual frames, before re-layering those images over the original footage. For `` Mediate '', it segues into a tribute to Bob Dylan 's `` Subterranean Homesick Blues ''. The members flip cue cards with words from the song ; the last one displays the words `` Sax Solo, '' at which point Kirk Pengilly starts a saxophone solo. Beneath the lyric `` a special date '' in the `` Mediate '' portion of the video, the cue card shown reads `` 9 - 8 - 1945 '' which in Australian date format is 9 August 1945, the date which the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The video won five MTV Video Music Awards including 1988 Video of The Year and was ranked at number twenty - one on MTV 's countdown of the 100 greatest videos of all time.
