Christian Bautista, Delon Thamrin hope to connect people with new song 'We Are Here'

Asia's Romanctic Balladeer Christian Bautista and Indonesian singer Delon Thamrin have released an inspirational song titled “We Are Here” on Friday, July 3.

According to Christian, the collaboration was inspired by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the social repercussions it has induced to everyone.

Although the public is encouraged to practice physical distancing, Christian said that people should continue to reach out to their loved ones and friends.

“We have to reach out to them. We have to reach out, to call our friends, call our family members.

"Yes, we're stuck in our houses but it doesn't mean we can't have calls like this or just a simple hi and hello to tell them that we are here for each other,” he said.

“The more that this song is shared by any many other artists or people, hopefully, more people will feel encouraged to connect and help,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Kapuso singer revealed that they were already planning a collaboration prior to the lockdown caused by the pandemic.

Released in the Philippines and Indonesia, "We Are Here" is available in all digital stores and music streaming platforms globally like Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, and Deezer.
