  • "Tomorrow Me" finds Luke Combs fighting a desire to rekindle an old relationship. He knows he will regret spending the night with his ex, but it's a struggle not to give into the temptation.

    'Cause the tomorrow me ain't gonna like the way things go tonight
    If I let you in and think that it'll be different this time
    So maybe we should let yesterday be
    'Cause I got to live with tomorrow me, hey
  • Combs first teased the song on his livestream on May 6, 2020, asking fans what they think. They gave it the thumbs up, so the "Hurricane" singer released "Tomorrow Me" as a single on April 22, 2022.
  • Combs co-wrote "Tomorrow Me" with regular collaborator Ray Fulcher and frequent George Strait scribe Dean Dillon. The co-writing session came about in mysterious circumstances. After playing a songwriters night, Ray Fulcher told Combs a woman had asked them if they wanted to write with Dillon several months from then on a yacht in the Bahamas.

    "Then it's a week before we're supposed to go, and still I don't really have any details," Combs told Billboard. "It's like, 'Go to the airport and there's going to be a private jet that you're going to get on.' We end up in the Bahamas and get on this little boat for two hours. And there's this 40-something-foot yacht floating out in the Exumas, and Dean Dillon's just on there, smoking a cigarette."
