J.Lo and Lin-Manuel Miranda record song for Orlando victims
Jennifer Lopez and “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda have penned a song to benefit victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting.
Lopez released a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the charity single “Love Make the World Go Round” on Monday.
The video features Miranda rapping, “What we got is love even when the sinners hate us / We cannot let them diminish or intimidate us / We sing out, we got the rhythm and the truth on our side / We cut through the divide and we do it with pride / A generation of innovators enabled to patiently wait for change ‘cause change is what they’ve been afraid of / The malevolence can wait, raise a level of debate, celebrate, elevate.”
No release date has been announced yet for the song, which will benefit Proyecto Somos Orlando.
The foundation’s website promises to “address the long-term needs for mental health services that are culturally competent and bilingual” for survivors and families of victims of the June shooting that left 49 dead and injured dozens of others.
