"In the Morning" opens Razorlight's self-titled second album, and it went out in July 2006 as the lead single, peaking at number three in Britain. Johnny Borrell wrote it alone and sings it, playing guitar next to Björn Ågren, with Carl Dalemo on bass and Andy Burrows on drums, both adding backing vocals. Chris Thomas produced.
The song is a morning-after picture, a hangover following a big night out, played with the brash confidence of a band that fancied itself as classic rock and roll. Critics were split: some heard echoes of the Up All Night songs and bristled at Borrell's delivery, while others praised it as big, well-built guitar pop with a chorus that sticks.
