Coinciding with the song’s release, The Avril Lavigne Foundation has
partnered with Project Hope, a global health organization dedicated to
placing power in the hands of local health care workers across the
globe, who are currently providing support on the frontlines of the
COVID-19 outbreak. All net proceeds from sales and streams of “We Are
Warriors” and its accompanying video will help Project Hope’s ongoing
COVID-19 relief efforts around the world – including providing personal
protective equipment (PPE). To make an additional donation to this
effort, visit www.CharityStars.com/Warrior.
“We Are Warriors” takes an anthemic, collective tone to remind listeners
of their inner strength and ability to come together in this uncertain
and difficult time. The song expands on its original version’s
reflection of Lavigne’s own health battle with Lyme disease and her
first-hand knowledge of the struggle, hope and determination it takes to
overcome.
“I felt the need to do something to honor all of the frontline workers
who risk their lives every day to keep us safe. From the doctors,
nurses, police, fire fighters, grocery workers, delivery services, all
essential workers and the brave volunteers. I am humbled with gratitude
and want to dedicate my new song ‘We Are Warriors’ to everyone putting
their lives at risk to keep us safe,” Avril says of the track. “You guys
are the ones that are holding the world up right now and we’re all
counting on you and relying on you. You are Warriors! We all need each
other more then ever right now. Now is the time to fight and to stick
together. Be kind, be safe, be a Warrior and support our mission at www.CharityStars.com/Warrior.”
