“When Tomorrow Comes” is an uplifting and dynamic track by British duo Eurythmics, released in June 1986 with “Take Your Pain Away” on the B-side as the lead single from their fifth studio album, Revenge. Written by Annie Lennox, David A. Stewart, and Patrick Seymour, the song captures themes of hope, resilience, and the promise of a better future, delivered with Eurythmics’ signature blend of pop-rock and new wave.
The lyrics revolve around looking ahead with optimism and finding strength in love and companionship. The track features a driving beat, chiming guitar riffs, and a strong melodic structure. Lennox’s soulful and commanding vocals are complemented by Stewart’s sharp production, which combines elements of rock, pop, and synth-driven new wave.
“When Tomorrow Comes” achieved moderate commercial success, charting in the top 30 in several countries, including the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 30 on the UK Singles Chart. It proved to be a much bigger success in Australia, Italy, and Scandinavia, where it reached the Top 10. The song was not released as a single in the United States.
