"I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" is a 1978 song by the Atlanta Rhythm Section. It was the second single release from their Champagne Jam LP, closely following their Top 10 success with "Imaginary Lover."

The song became a hit in the U.S. and Canada, reaching #14 and #15, respectively.[1] It did not chart outside North America.

In "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight", the singer acknowledges the world in an uproar, a jungle and a rat race, filled with enough tragic problems to cause a person to resort to the most desperate measures. However, he resolves to not face them until at least the next day, insisting that he will not allow anything to disturb him for the night. He then concludes by asking the bartender for a double.
