She continued, "This was one of Francis M's most popular anthems back in the 90s with a message so powerful and timeless. I thought of creating this version together with some of my artist friends as a gentle reminder that we are all connected to each other in love, peace and harmony.
"I truly believe that God wants all of us to experience this kind of colorful and vibrant energy while we are here on earth.
"We are not just here to survive. We are here to thrive and feel all the way alive."
