“I felt very emotional recording this song,” said Cher in a statement, via Spin, adding, “it was very important to me.”
Minogue also shared her thoughts. “Children in Need is such a special charity and so loved by everyone, including me,” she added. “It was a privilege to take part in this recording with so many amazing artists. This year it feels even more poignant than ever, and I hope we can all come together to raise as much as possible.”
Proceeds from the single will go to BBC Children in Need; donations can be made right here.
