Phil Collins escreveu “In the Air Tonight” durante a turbulenta fase de divórcio com Andrea Bertorelli em 1980, compondo a letra de forma espontânea para expressar raiva, frustração e tristeza.
A batida icônica da música foi criada usando a técnica de gated reverb nos tambores, um som que acabou influenciando a produção pop dos anos 80.
O clímax da canção apresenta um famoso break de bateria, gravado com uma combinação de máquina de bateria Roland CR‑78 e o uso de drum machine durante o processo criativo de Collins.
O videoclipe dirigido por Stuart Orme recebeu grande destaque na MTV logo após o lançamento da emissora em 1981, impulsionando ainda mais a popularidade da faixa.
“In the Air Tonight” alcançou o número 2 nas paradas do Reino Unido e foi certificado ouro pela RIAA nos Estados Unidos, vendendo mais de 500 mil cópias.
A música ficou classificada no número 35 da lista da VH1 “100 Greatest Songs of the 80s” e no número 291 da lista da Rolling Stone “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” (2021).
