This is the lead single by the American rock band OneRepublic, from their third album. The song premiered online on July 28, 2012 and was performed for the first time on the August 10, 2012 edition of Good Morning America. It was released for digital download on August 27, 2012.
The song was inspired by children in remote villages who are in need of life-saving care. Part of the sales of the single were donated to Save the Children's Every Beat Matters campaign to support training frontline health workers around the world. According to the organization's website, when writing the song, Tedder drew on recordings of children's heartbeats for inspiration.
The uplifting video was filmed in a redwood forest near San Francisco, between July 31, and August 2, 2012.
