Before You Go Tonight is a Lynsey de Paul album recorded in 1976 but not released until 1990, when it appeared as a CD release in Japan. The album was originally called Singer-Songwriter and was finally released on de Paul's music store as Take Your Time, albeit with a slightly different track listing. All of the songs were written by de Paul, except "You've Either Got It or You Ain't", which was co-written with David Jordan. The track "If I Don't Get You The Next One Will" was released as a single in 1976, and "My One and Only" is de Paul's version of a song recorded and released by the British female vocal trio "Bones".
The song "Martian Man", was covered in 1996 by Julianne Regan's group Mice as a track on the "Milkman" EP and was a UK chart hit. It also appeared on their album, New & Improved.
