"Tomorrow" is a song by American rapper GloRilla, released as a single from Collective Music Group's compilation album Gangsta Art (2022) on July 15, 2022. It was produced by Macaroni Toni. On September 23, 2022, the official remix of the song, titled "Tomorrow 2", with American rapper Cardi B was released. The remix peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Composition
The song features piano chords and bass in the production.[1][2] GloRilla raps in an aggressive manner, while lyrically she dismisses her detractors and raps about her good qualities,[3][4] keeping her circle close but being "kinda ratchet still",[5] as well as her status and standards with an optimistic tone.[6] On the remix, Cardi B also targets her haters and brags about being better than others.[3][4] She acknowledges rapper Ice Spice by interpolating her song "Munch (Feelin' U)".[5][7]
Critical reception
The song received lukewarm praise from a few outlets but was generally overlooked. Both Eddie Fu of Consequence and Stereogum praised the compatibility of GloRilla and Cardi B's collaboration.[5][7] Breihan also called the latter's shoutout to Ice Spice to be "worth quoting".[7] Mankaprr Conteh of Rolling Stone wrote, "While GloRilla's baddie quips can be pretty funny, Cardi B brings even more levity to the song with her characteristic humor."[6]
Music video
A music video for the song was released alongside the single. It shows GloRilla and her friends partying and twerking at an airport tarmac,[8] inside a private jet,[1][2] and on a Bentley.[8] They hold stacks of cash throughout the video as well.[2][8]
The music video for "Tomorrow 2" was directed by Diesel Filmz and released on September 23, 2022. In it, GloRilla and her friends go wild in the New York city streets. She is seen ghost riding in neon cars while wearing a ski mask,[9][10] and dancing with her friends on stoops and in a bodega, where they grab snacks as well (GloRilla gets some Takis). They continue dancing and twerking through the city's subway station and in the train, also pole-dancing on subway poles.[7][9] Later, Cardi B joins GloRilla on a rooftop, and has a house party with GloRilla and her crew.[10][11][12]
Live performances
GloRilla performed the song at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards.[13]
