Bowie worked on the album Tonight after finishing up his Serious Moonlight Tour in support of the album Let’s Dance. Bowie didn’t have much luck writing while on tour, so he described the process of recording the album Tonight this way:
It was rushed. The process wasn’t rushed; we actually took our time recording the thing; Let’s Dance was done in three weeks, Tonight took five weeks or something, which for me is a really long time. I like to work fast in the studio. There wasn’t much of my writing on it ’cause I can’t write on tour and I hadn’t assembled anything to put out. But I thought it a kind of violent effort at a kind of Pin-Ups.
