Neneh Cherry wrote this and recorded it as a duet with Senegalese artist Youssou N'Dour. Cherry is best known by many for her 1989 transatlantic Top 10 hit "Buffalo Stance."
Neneh Cherry (from her website): "'7 Seconds' is about the first positive 7 seconds in the life of a child just born not knowing about the problems and violence in our world."
This won the 1994 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song for writers Youssou N'Dour, Neneh Cherry and Cherry's husband Cameron McVey.
