Released in October 1995 as part of the tribute compilation Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” by the Bee Gees is a quietly compelling re-imagining of the classic 1960 song by The Shirelles and the writing team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin.

What makes this version stand out is the balance of reverence and reflection. The Bee Gees, long known for soaring harmonies and shimmering production, here settle into something more subdued—a mature voice addressing the question of love’s endurance. The lyric “Will you still love me tomorrow” becomes less a youthful plunge into uncertainty and more a deliberate look backward and forward at what stays when the night is gone. The delivery by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb conveys not the urgency of young hearts but the knowing hush of those who have lived and loved much.

Musically, the track is polished but restrained. The arrangement supports the vocals, giving space to the emotional core rather than crowding it with spectacle. In an era when the Bee Gees’ catalogue had already spanned decades, this recording feels like a thoughtful addition—one where they are not chasing hits but honouring a song and its emotional legacy.

For listeners who’ve carried years of devotion, doubt, joy and memory, this version of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” resonates on its own terms. It asks the same question as the original, but with the tone of someone who has seen love come and go, and still dares to hope. In that respect, the Bee Gees’ interpretation becomes not just a cover, but a personal statement: love is a question worth asking again, and the answer may yet surprise us.

If you approach this version with open ears, you’ll find it speaks to more than the uncertainty of a tomorrow—it speaks to the steady yearning of today, and the quiet courage to ask if someone will stay.
