Isn't It Midnight is a song written by Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Eddy Quintela and recorded by Fleetwood Mac with McVie on keyboards and lead vocal and with Buckingham on guitar and additional vocal for their 1987 album Tango in the Night.
The song is built around a rock guitar riff and Buckingham does brief bits of echo vocal in the chorus.
It was the sixth and final single to be released from the album. It made little chart impact but did reach #23 in Ireland and #32 in the Netherlands.
Isn't it Midnight was performed regularly on tour by the group until 1990. It resurfaced briefly in 2015 on the On With the Show tour and became a permanent part of the set again for An Evening With Fleetwood Mac in 2018.
The recording does not feature Stevie Nicks but she does feature on the live version included on the Tango in the Night video.
