Representatives of five continents are in Singapore this week to record the theme song and film the music video for the Singapore 2010 Youth Games.
The singers each represent Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania – namely Jody Williams, Sean Kingston, Tabitha Nauser, Steve Appleton and Jessica Mauboy.
Singapore 2010 says the theme song for any Games is a powerful and emotive tool that can help to set the atmosphere, bond people from different background and culture, inspire athletes, and promote the Games.
Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, and advisor to SYOGOC said, “Singapore 2010 is a global event. By engaging singers from five different parts of the world to sing the theme song, we hope to increase the song’s international appeal and convey the spirit of inclusiveness for the Games”.
