"Early Morning" is a song by Norwegian band A-ha, which was released in 1991 as the third single from their fourth studio album, East of the Sun, West of the Moon (1990). It was written by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and Magne Furuholmen, and produced by Ian Stanley.[2] "Early Morning" reached number 78 in the United Kingdom and number 29 in Ireland.[3][4] A music video was filmed to promote the single, directed by Michael Burlingame, while the video's black-and-white footage was directed by Lauren Savoy.[5]

Recalling the song in 2015, Furuholmen revealed it references the Doors, who had been "childhood heroes" to the band.[6]
