[edit] About the song
The track was originally debuted on an American radio station in 2002 while the band were hunting around for a record deal. During the outro, bassist John Taylor announced that it would be a single later on in the year. The version of "What Happens Tomorrow" played on the radio was an early demo featuring an extended bridge, which would be removed by the time the track was released on Astronaut.

The video, which showed the band as constellations, was directed by the duo of Smith n' Borin (Frank Buff Borin and Ryan Smith).
