"Under the Thunder" is a song by the Australian trio Skegss. It was released on 11 July 2018 as the lead single from their second studio album, Rehearsal. The Kai Neville directed music video was released on the same day.
Upon release, writer and lead vocalists Ben Reed said "This song is about enjoying the rollercoaster of life, no one can live forever so you may as well enjoy the seasons. There's not always going to be a solution to some situations that you're in so you have to take the good with the bad and ride it out and just enjoy a beer when you can and not think about any of the bad things in your life, nature will always have its way at the end of the day."
The song polled at number 27 in the Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2020.
In February 2026, the song was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments exceeding 35,000 copies.
