The song has been written and composed keeping the theme of the 46th President of the United States inauguration that is, 'America United.' Apart from the two stars, the other names added to the inauguration performance list include Black Pumas, Luis Fonsi, and Ozuna, who will appear as part of a special edition of DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic.
According to Fox News, the two singers debuted the track last week. In its lyrics, the musicians call for unity among people despite their race, political and religious beliefs. The release of the song comes at a time when tensions are heightened across the nation in the wake of a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol that happened two weeks ago.
The song has been co-written by guitarist Chris Loocke on Florida Georgia Line's tour bus. It was then that the artists were under quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. The news of their performance comes just one day after Garth Brooks revealed that he too will perform at the event in Washington, D.C.
During an interview, he told the entertainment portal that he has played for every president, since Carter, with the exception of Reagan. He feels extremely honored to get to serve and sing for the President-elect and his family.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic as well as heightened security following the January 6 riot, Biden's inauguration will be mostly a virtual experience. Earlier pop sensations like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry also expressed their excitement of being a part of the special show where they will be seen performing their best songs. Actor Tom Hanks will host the primetime special, which already includes Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, Jon Bon Jovi, Ant Clemons, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, and Foo Fighters performing at "iconic locations across the country," according to a tweet by the Biden’s Inaugural Committee. The inauguration festivities will be scaled down due to COVID-19 and security concerns.
