"Can't Fight the Moonlight" is a song written by Diane Warren and performed by American singer LeAnn Rimes.

The Graham Stack Radio Edit of the song (known as the "Latino Mix" internationally) was included as a bonus track on I Need You and on More Music from Coyote Ugly (2003).

Rimes originally auditioned for the 2000 film Coyote Ugly to sing "Can't Fight the Moonlight" at the ending with Piper Perabo but, once Rimes watched some cuts of the film, she decided to provide the singing voice for all the songs sung by Perabo.

Rimes later shared with her audience of a 2017 concert that she really wanted “Can’t Fight The Moonlight”, but it was attached to Coyote Ugly.

[7] The song was written by American Grammy Award-winning songwriter, Diane Warren and performed by Rimes.

[8] The song is produced by Trevor Horn with executive production by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kathy Nelson and Mike Curb.

[2] A review by Billboard praised producer Trevor Horn by stating "Oh-so creatively produced by Trevor Horn with guitars, lush layers of harmony, and a funky albeit delicate hip-hop track (no, really), this easy-flowing midtempo popper is a sassy number, demonstrating that Rimes has crossed the line to adult-leaning lyrics.

[7] In 2003, the Graham Stack Radio Edit of the song would be included on the More Music from Coyote Ugly soundtrack on January 28, 2003.

[15] In 2018, Rimes released a live re-reimagined version of the song to digital download and streaming services[16] that was later included on her Re-Imagined EP.

In the United Kingdom, "Can't Fight the Moonlight" topped the UK Singles Chart for the week ending November 25, 2000, becoming Britain's 12th biggest-selling song of 2000.

[citation needed] A music video for the song was released in 2000 by Touchstone Pictures and directed by David McNally, the director of Coyote Ugly.

[31] On May 9, she performed a "beat box-driven" version of the song live at the 36th Academy of Country Music Awards, being accompanied by bare-chested dancers.

Personnel for "Can't Fight the Moonlight" adapted from the liner notes of the Coyote Ugly soundtrack.
