"A Brand New Day" is geschreven door (de toen nog onbekende) Luther Vandross . In 1976 nam Luther het nummer op voor zijn album "Luther".
Het lied kent vele verwijzingen naar vrijheid en nieuwe mogelijkheden (vooral voor de Afro-Amerikaanse personages die waren bevrijd van de slavernij). "Free at last!" in de song is een verwijzing naar burgerrechten van activist Dr. Martin Luther King.
In België en Nederland wordt het nummer als single uitgebracht en bereikt de 1e plaats in de hitparade.

Songtekst
Everybody look around
`Cause there`s a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let`s commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we`ve been waiting for
Everybody`s glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can`t you feel a brand new day?
Can`t you feel a brand new day?
Can`t you feel a brand new day?
Can`t you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad,
because the sun is shining just for us.
Everybody wake up,
into the morning, into happiness.
Hello world
It`s like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we`d be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we`ve got liberty
It`s such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can`t you feel a brand new day?
Can`t you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad,
because the sun is shining just for us.
Everybody wake up,
into the morning, into happiness.
