"Thursday's Child" is a song recorded by David Bowie for his twenty-second studio album Hours (1999).

Written by Bowie and Reeves Gabrels, the song was released as the album's lead single on 20 September 1999, by Virgin Records.

In a performance for VH1 Storytellers, Bowie revealed that the title of the song was prompted by the memory of the autobiography of actress Eartha Kitt.

[4] One of the single's B-sides was a track written by Bowie and Gabrels called "We Shall Go to Town", which was originally slated for inclusion on the album itself.

Both the "Rock mix" and a slower version from the Omikron – The Nomad Soul video game was released on the bonus disc that followed the 2004 reissue of Hours.

The accompanying music video for "Thursday's Child" was directed by Walter Stern, and was filmed in early August 1999 in New York City.

[6] In Bowie's own words, "The video is a strange and slow moving piece that wanders between a present and a past in a bewildering fashion".

[7] It shows Bowie in a motel room, looking in a mirror at his younger self (played by Owen Beasley)[8] and reminiscing on his life and what could have been.
