Composition
"Then the Morning Comes" is written with the verses and pre-choruses in C minor, the chorus in E♭ major, the bridge in C major, and the break in A minor. The song runs at 116 beats per minute. Like most Smash Mouth songs, the music is played a semitone flat. The song samples the strings refrain from Mantovani's 1967 version of Shirley Bassey's song "Goldfinger (Shirley [Bassey song)|Goldfinger]", from the James Bond film of the same name.Music video
The music video was filmed in Santa Cruz, California and was directed by Scott Marshall. In the video, vocalist Steve Harwell keeps having nightmares about seeing a beautiful woman, waking when something embarrassing happens and the woman laughs at him. However, in the last version, she joins him and he awakens to reveal the two in bed together.Charts
