Speaking to NME, Alex revealed that the album is most definitley "music for the dancefloor".

He said: "It's music of the night, so it seems like the most appropriate title. It suggests a performance too".

"I can picture a marquee outside a theatre saying 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand', there's a sense of anticipation. It's music for the dancefloor, your bedroom as you psyche yourself up to go out."
