"The Morning After" was written by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn for the Oscar-winning movie The Poseidon Adventure, starring Gene Hackman. The original title of the song was "Why Must There Be a Morning After?" The song is about weathering the storm (figuratively and, in the context of the movie, literally), knowing there has to be a morning after when it will all be over.
In the movie, this was sung by Renee Amand, with Carol Lynley lip-synching to it in front of the camera.
This won the Oscar for Best Song, 1972. In addition, The Poseidon Adventure won the Best Special Effects Oscar.
