"Tomorrow (A Better You, a Better Me)" is a song originally recorded by the Brothers Johnson as an instrumental in 1976 on the album Look Out for #1.
In 1989, Siedah Garrett wrote lyrics to the song, and it was recorded by Quincy Jones featuring Tevin Campbell on vocals for the album Back on the Block. The new version of the song spent one week at number one on the US R&B chart and peaked at number seventy-five on the US pop chart in February 1990. It was Campbell's first number-one R&B single and first single to enter the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1990, jazz fusion Nelson Rangell covered the song from his self-titled album.
Tomorrow / Bokra (Arabic: بكرا) is the Arab version of the song which is produced by Quincy Jones, RedOne & Badr Jafar.
The lyrics were written by the Lebanese singer Majida El Roumi and music was rearranged by Kadim Al Sahir.
The music video was directed by Malek Akkad son of deceased Arab film director Moustapha Akkad. It features the artists performing their sections of the song in close-ups or collectively and children running and / or playing sports.
The song featured 24 Arab singers representing 16 Arab nations across the Middle East and North Africa plus Akon and Shakira who introduced it.
