Songfacts®:

  • Night Ranger drummer Kelly Keagy and frontman Jack Blades teamed up to write "Tomorrow," a track from the band's 12th album, ATBPO. In a Songfacts interview with Keagy, he said: "It's definitely a relationship song. It's a hand out, a reach out: 'This is how our life can be tomorrow.'"
  • Looking ahead to a better tomorrow was a common theme in 2020 when Night Ranger were working on the album. They put it together during the pandemic, which posed a lot of challenges, but didn't completely upend their workflow: Their previous three albums were made virtually, for the most part. "Every album we enjoy doing," Keagy told Songfacts. "It's harder now because we're producing them, but early on, we had a producer and an engineer doing all that stuff – doing all the button pushing and helping you make the decision on performances. This time, it took longer because you want everybody to weigh in on the ideas and then go back and change stuff. It's a different world now."
