The Coca-Cola Company has teamed up with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to unveil a new collaboration produced by oneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, and performed Gwen Stefani and Anderson .Paak.
Dubbed “Hello World,” the single arrived Thursday with a music video (available on the International Olympic Committee’s YouTube channel) including Anderson and Gwen, with stills of previous Summer Olympic games, and featuring athletes and fans. The song will be used for the Paris 2024 Olympics, which start July 26, and future games to come.
“It’s not every day that you’re given the opportunity to write a song in celebration of the Olympic Games, and I am grateful to be part of such an incredible collaboration,” said Tedder. “The Games are an important way for all of us to come together and celebrate each other globally, and we wrote this song with that in mind. I grew up watching every Olympics since childhood so this is a lifelong dream- I hope this song inspires and uplifts. I’m excited to share ‘Hello World’ with all of you, and I want to thank Brian Monaco [Sony Music Publishing president, global chief marketing officer], and the teams at The Coca-Cola Company and IOC, for their partnership and support.”
