One Voice Children’s Choir started more than 20 years ago in Utah. It began when songwriter Masa Fukuda helped write a song for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
He got 1,621 students from 69 schools to record “It Just Takes Love.” After that, some of the kids asked to keep singing together. That’s how the choir was born.
A few years ago, they covered Pink’s “What About Us?” and the video has 18 million views. The song first came out in 2017 on Pink’s album Beautiful Trauma. The lyrics are open to different meanings. Billboard’s Gil Kaufman said it could be “commenting on the state of the world, or the state of the heart.”
Faith Pot saw the choir’s version as being about kids from broken homes. Pink said the song is about people who feel pushed aside, and she connected it to Trump being elected.
She told Vulture the song has a message for people around the world who feel marginalised. It really hits different when kids are the ones singing it.
Leena Azzam said: “The way the girl held the other one’s hand and said ‘we are children that need to be loved’ then they all replied ‘we need love’ .. THAT got me.”
