In the Air Tonight

"In the Air Tonight" is the debut solo single by English drummer, singer and songwriter Phil Collins. It was released as the lead single from Collins' first solo album, Face Value, in January 1981.

Collins co-produced the single with Hugh Padgham, who became a frequent collaborator in the following years. The song was an instant hit, quickly climbing to No. 2 on the UK Singles chart. It was also an international hit, peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and No. 1 in the Netherlands. It was later certified Gold by the RIAA, representing 500,000 copies sold. The song's music video, directed by Stuart Orme, received heavy play on MTV when the new cable music video channel launched in August 1981. It remains one of Collins' best-known hits and is especially famous for his drum break towards the end, which has been described as "the sleekest, most melodramatic drum break in history".

Background and recording

Inspiration

Collins wrote the song about the anger he felt after divorcing his first wife, Andrea, in 1979. In a 1997 BBC Radio 2 documentary, the singer revealed that the divorce contributed to his 1979 hiatus from Genesis until the band regrouped in October of that year to record the album Duke.

It was directed and edited by Rich Newey. The music video has been viewed over 32 million times on YouTube. The video version of the song differs slightly from the single that was released online, as there is more of a background beat as well as an additional verse from Juicy J, which was not included on the leaked version. The order of appearance also differs in the video, which starts with Juicy J, DJ Paul then Flo Rida (with Sean Kingston doing the chorus); whereas in the leaked single, the order is Flo Rida then DJ Paul, with Sean Kingston again doing the chorus.
