"Tomorrow" is a song by Australian rock band Silverchair, which was released on 16 September 1994 on their debut extended play, also titled Tomorrow. The song was re-recorded and included on Frogstomp, the band's debut studio album, released six months later on 27 March 1995. Written by singer and lead guitarist Daniel Johns and drummer Ben Gillies, it was produced and engineered by Phil McKellar at the national radio station Triple J's studios for SBS-TV's show Nomad, which aired on 16 June 1994. After the broadcast, Silverchair were signed to the Murmur record label – a Sony Music subsidiary – which subsequently issued the Tomorrow EP.
"Tomorrow" became a breakthrough hit for Silverchair when it reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart on 30 October 1994 and remained there for six weeks. A re-recorded version was issued in 1995 in the United States and also peaked at number one on both the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and the Album Rock Tracks charts; it made No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. In the United Kingdom, the song made No. 59 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1995. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1995, the song "Tomorrow" won three awards in the categories 'Single of the Year', 'Highest Selling Single', and 'Breakthrough Artist – Single'; they won two further awards for Frogstomp.
In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, "Tomorrow" was ranked number 36. In November 2020, the EP recording of "Tomorrow" was inducted into the NFSA (National Film and Sound Archive of Australia)
Two different music videos were released to promote "Tomorrow". The original version was directed by Robert Hambling for the SBS-TV show Nomad,
The second version was shown in the US in 1995 and directed by Mark Pellington. This video has been described as mirroring the music video for the 1991 Pearl Jam song "Jeremy", also directed by Pellington, as well as the work of directors Samuel Bayer and Matt Mahurin. Like many grunge videos popular on MTV at the time, the US "Tomorrow" video includes harsh lighting, especially on the face; various disturbing images, such as a pig eating money and shots of a spider-like creature; jump cuts between random images; and scribbled handwritten notes. The video's high rotation on MTV "led to an abundance of radio requests". This version of the video was included on the Frogstomp: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition bonus DVD in March 2015.
