Introduction
“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” is a timeless ballad that has been covered by numerous artists, but it is perhaps most closely associated with the soulful rendition by The Shirelles. Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the song was originally intended for The Drifters but was later given to The Shirelles, who released it in 1960.
The song’s introspective lyrics explore the anxieties and uncertainties that often accompany new love. The narrator, caught up in the whirlwind of a passionate romance, questions whether the intense emotions they are experiencing will endure beyond the present moment. The song’s enduring popularity stems from its relatable exploration of universal themes of love, doubt, and the fragility of human connection.
