Gwiazdy estrady, takie jak Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Kanye West, Pink, czy Carlos Santana, po 25 latach odświeżyły przebój "We Are The World". Piosenka nagrana pierwotnie, aby pomóc mieszkańcom Afryki, obecnie ma posłużyć zbiórce pieniędzy dla ofiar trzęsienia ziemi na Haiti. W nagraniu wzięło udział prawie 100 artystów, w tym obok wyżej wymienionych także LL Cool J, Wyclef Jean, Enrique Iglesias, Toni Braxton, Busta Rhymes, Miley Cyrus, czu Usher. Pieczę producencką sprawowali lider Black Eyed Peas will.i.am i autor utworów Lady Gagi Red One. Nagranie odbyło się w tym samym hollywoodzkim studiu co 25 lat temu pod kierunkiem Quincy Jonesa i współautora piosenki Lionela Richie. Nie zaproszono jednak żadnego z piosenkarzy, którzy brali udział w tworzeniu oryginalnej wersji utworu. Część tekstu napisanego przez Richiego i Michaela Jacksona, została uaktualniona i będzie rapowana przez współczesne gwiazdy. Siostra Jacksona, Janet, która nie mogła uczestniczyć w poniedziałkowym nagraniu, zamierza dośpiewać część piosenki wykonywanej oryginalnie przez jej brata we wtorek w studiu w Atlancie.
