"The Kid Is Hot Tonite" is a song by Canadian rock band Loverboy, released in 1981 as the second and final single from their self-titled debut album . The song is interpreted by some to be about up-and-coming fellow Canadian singer/guitarist Bryan Adams. While not as big a chart success as their debut single "Turn Me Loose", the song still reached number 20 in Canada and number 55 in the United States.[3]

Record World said the song has "winning guitar/synthesizer strains and a smashing chorus hook."[4]
