This feature-style article rounds up four notable 20th-century songs that share "tomorrow" in their titles, spanning genres from pop and folk to psychedelic rock and British rock. It offers music fans a mix of trivia and history about each track's origins, without reporting any breaking news.

Highlights include "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles, a 1960 Carole King/Gerry Goffin composition that hit No. 1 and was later reinterpreted by King herself on Tapestry; Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow Is A Long Time", recorded as a 1962 demo but left officially unreleased until 1971, and later covered by Elvis Presley; The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows", whose title came from a Ringo Starr phrase and closed out Revolver with experimental studio production; and The Kinks' "This Time Tomorrow" from Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneyground, which explores the exhausting realities of touring life.

  • Four classic songs with "tomorrow" in the title are profiled.
  • Includes hits by The Shirelles, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Kinks.
