"Tomorrow" was released as the third single from Amanda's debut album I Am a Photograph in 1977. It was written by the singer herself (lyrics) and Rainer Pietsch (music). The track became one of her biggest hits of the disco era. It reached number 1 spot in Italy in October 1977[1] and remains the only chart-topper of Lear's entire career.
The B-side of the 7" single in Italy was "The Lady in Black", and a French language version of "Alphabet" appeared in France. "Queen of Chinatown" appeared as the B-side in Spain and Portugal (Spanish release had it billed as "La reina del barrio chino"[2]). In Japan, "Pretty Boys" was released instead.
In 1998 the song was re-recorded for the album Back in Your Arms. 2008 saw Lear re-recording "Tomorrow" again, in a salsa-flavoured style, this time for the album Amour Toujours.
Amanda Lear shot a number of music videos for "Tomorrow". A blue screen video with two dancers was produced for Musikladen. Another clip sees Amanda performing the song in a sport hall, surrounded by young men playing basketball.
1983 video from Ma chi è Amanda? presents the singer performing "Tomorrow" in a golden cage, wearing a tight leopard-dotted costume, with huge lipsticks in the background. The clip was also shot using the blue screen technique.

The song was covered in 1988 by Italian punk rock band CCCP Fedeli alla linea and subsequently released on a single under new title "Tomorrow (Voulez vous un rendez vous)". It was in fact a collaboration with Amanda Lear who also provided vocals for the B-side track of the single, "Inch'Allah ça va". The new version was not a commercial success and only charted at number 40 in Italy.[8]
In 2006 Spanish singer Pedro Marín covered "Tomorrow" on his record Diamonds, a tribute album including interpretations of Amanda Lear's tracks.[9]
