"Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me)" is a song by Rod Stewart, the title track of his 1981 album Tonight I'm Yours. It was one of three singles released from the album. The song was the lead single internationally except for the United States, where it was the follow-up to "Young Turks."
Billboard called it an "uptempo, highly melodic outing" and praised Stewart's vocal and the song's hooks. Record World said that "keyboard chimes and percolating percussion decorate the energetic dance beat."
"Tonight I'm Yours" became an international top 10 hit, peaking at number eight in the UK and number two in Canada. It reached the top 20 in the US.
A promotional video for the song was filmed at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, California. Directed by Russell Mulcahy, it features Stewart performing poolside while women are partying throughout the hotel.
