"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.[1] 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.[2]
