Background Story of “Tomorrow Will Be Better”
This song was released on October 25, 1985, and has become one of the most popular tracks by Lo Ta-yu罗大佑, since release, it has been covered by many other artists.
Inspired by the 1985 charity single ‘We Are the World,’ Taiwanese musicians initiated the creation of ‘Tomorrow Will Be Better’ in support of the 1986 International Year of Peace. Produced by Li Shouquan and coordinated by Chang Ai-chia, the song brought together 60 singers from across the Chinese-speaking world. Originally composed by Lo Ta-yu, his lyrics were deemed too pessimistic and were extensively revised by a team of six writers to better reflect an uplifting, collective message. The final version, though diverging from Lo’s original intent, became an iconic anthem of hope and unity.
