"One Lonely Night" is a song performed by the American band REO Speedwagon. The song is the third single from the band's 1984 album Wheels Are Turnin'. It peaked at No. 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it the second best performing single from the album in the United States,[2] although very far from the success of "Can't Fight This Feeling".

Music video[]

The video has a medieval setting, and starts out with a knight arguing with his spouse. He then walks out on her. The song begins playing and he encounters the lead singer Kevin Cronin who appears to be a wizard. The rest of the video follows the knight walking through the streets of a big city. The video uses a lot of stop motion.[3]
