La canción Heartache Tonight fue creada en una colaboración entre Glenn Frey de los Eagles, Don Henley, Bob Seger y J.D. Souther. La inspiración llegó cuando Frey y Souther estaban juntos en Los Ángeles, y Seger pasó la noche con ellos, tocando el riff principal de la canción en la guitarra. La canción habla sobre el inevitable dolor emocional y las experiencias vividas en las relaciones amorosas.
