During the writing, Rice and Menken also came to a ballad in the same vein, used in a later scene as "One Jump Ahead (Reprise)". Tim Rice and Alan Menken's biggest inspiration for "One Jump Ahead" was another cut song, " Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim", that would feature Aladdin and three friends removed from the film. It replaced "You Can Count On Me", a song that would be used to introduce Aladdin but was considered too pokey.

"One Jump Ahead" is sung by Aladdin ( Brad Kane) while he escapes from the guards carrying a stolen loaf of bread, explaining that it is the life he lives in, he has no choice but to steal, much as he does not wish to.
