It was released in the [[United States]] as a single on February 19, 2013, as the international fourth single from the album. An official remix featuring rapper [[Nicki Minaj]] was released on May 6, 2013. The song was written by Jepsen, [[Lukas Hilbert]], [[Max Martin]], [[The Monsters & Strangerz\|Clarence Coffee Jr.]], [[Shiloh (singer)\|Shiloh]], and Katerina Loules. Thematically, the track centers around a break-up, with lyrics about getting over her ex-boyfriend by dancing with someone new. The song has some [[dubstep]] aspects. "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" received mostly positive reviews from [[music critics]]; some deemed it one of the best tracks on ''Kiss'', as they did ~~about Jepsen's claim to fame~~ with "[[Call Me Maybe]]". Charting across Europe, the song became a top ten hit in Belgium. The song peaked at number 90 on the [[Billboard Hot 100\|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] and achieved modest success on the [[Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Songs)\|Mainstream Top 40]] and [[Hot Dance Club Songs\|dance club airplay]] charts.
