"Badai Pasti Berlalu" ([ˈbadai ˈpasti bərˈlalu]; English: "The Storm Will Surely Pass") is an Indonesian song written by Eros Djarot and released in 1977 as part of the soundtrack of Badai Pasti Berlalu. It was originally sung by Berlian Hutauruk, but has also been covered by Chrisye and Ari Lasso. It has been declared the third best Indonesian song of all time.

"Badai Pasti Berlalu" was written by Eros Djarot and arranged by Yockie Surjoprajogo. It was used in the soundtrack for Badai Pasti Berlalu.

Teguh Karya, the director of Badai Pasti Berlalu, disagreed with the choice of Berlian Hutauruk. He considered her voice screechy, saying "Who’s voice is this? Kuntilanak’s?" and insisted that Anna Mathovani, with her smoother vocals, should be the singer. However, when Eros Djarot threatened cancelling the entire soundtrack, Teguh Karya gave in.

"Badai Pasti Berlalu" is seen as a dark and gloomy song about being optimistic when suffering, as shown by the refrain:

Indonesian

Kini, semua bukan milikku
Musim itu telah berlalu
Matahari segera berganti
Badai pasti berlalu, badai pasti berlalu

English

Now, nothing is mine
That time has passed
The sun will soon change
And the storm will surely pass, the storm will surely pass.
