The catalyst for writing 'Night Moves' came after Seger saw the 1973 film American Graffiti: 'I came out of the theater thinking, ‘Hey, I've got a story to tell, too! Nobody has ever told about how it was to grow up in my neck of the woods.'' Seger was inspired by the film's depictions of early 1960s car culture, of which he was a part.

The use of descriptive imagery was inspired by Kris Kristofferson’s “ Me and Bobby McGee” (1969), a song that Seger loved and which motivated him as he was developing his writing style. He had recently purchased a house due to the success of his first live album, Live Bullet, and he and the band would write and practice in its large basement. The song took Seger over six months to complete writing.

Seger later told journalist Timothy White that many of his early songs were written to impress the girl. Seger promptly pursued a romance with the girl, but eventually her boyfriend returned and they married, leaving Seger broken-hearted. 'It's about this dark haired Italian girl that I went out with when I was 19, she was one year older than me,' he later recalled. Through these, he met a woman-credited as Rene Andretti in the Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings-whose boyfriend was in the military and was away. The song's contents are largely autobiographical for example, the group of friends would often hold parties they called 'grassers', which involved going to a farmer's field outside Ann Arbor to dance. At a certain point, he began socializing with a rougher crowd, who thought he was cool because he played music. 'Night Moves' has roots in Seger's adolescence he wrote the song in an attempt to capture the 'freedom and looseness' he experienced during that period of his life. The song was responsible for changing Seger from being a popular regional favorite into a national star. It also charted at number five in Canada and was a top 25 hit in Australia. Released as a single in December 1976, it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Seger's first hit single since ' Ramblin' Gamblin' Man' from 1969. As much of Seger's Silver Bullet Band had returned home by this point, the song was recorded with several local session musicians. It took him six months to write and was recorded quickly at Nimbus Nine Studios in Toronto, Ontario, with producer Jack Richardson. It was based on Seger's own teenage love affair he experienced in the early 1960s. Seger wrote the song as a coming of age tale about adolescent love and adult memory of it. It was the lead single from his ninth studio album of the same name (1976), which was released on Capitol Records. ' Night Moves' is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger.
