《Black or White》的詞曲創作和演唱者是惠特妮·休士頓。
其完整歌詞如下：
Black or white, black or white
Matter of fact, I’m half and half
And proud of it, and I’m black and white
But I ain’t got no problem with you
You don’t have to be ashamed, of your name, or the way you were born
Black or white, black or white
Matter of fact, I’m half and half
And proud of it, and I’m black and white
But I ain’t got no problem with you
So let me take a self-test to see what color I should be
With a brain in my head I should be blue but look what God gave me: a smile and I break through!
But what do I care? So why can’t you? Oh yeah! Let’s you and me. Come on and sing this song. Yeah! Yeah! Come on! Hey hey! Hey hey! Hey hey! Hey hey! Hey hey yeah yeah! Come on and sing along! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Black or white. Black or white. Hey hey! Hey hey! Black or white. Hey hey! Hey hey! Black or white. Black or white. Black or white. Black or white. Black or white. Hey hey yeah yeah!
歌曲中的關鍵詞還包括：shame（羞愧）、black and white（黑與白）、problem（問題）、brain（腦袋）、God（上帝）等。在歌曲中，休士頓呼籲各種膚色的人應該為他們的個性感到驕傲，並對他們的生活方式無需感到羞愧。她還鼓勵我們要勇於接受自己的特質，並不因為他人對我們的評價而自我否定。這是一首關於自信、包容和平等的歌曲。
