It has been a while since Katy released new music, hence why KatyCats around the world were in a frenzy when she randomly released the song, without any prior buildup. In addition to dropping the song, NBC also released a video to promote the Olympics, with the anthem playing as a series of athletes are seen overcoming obstacles. 

 

Since dropping the inspiring track, Katy has also made it clear that the song is intended to apply to everyone, not just the athletes who will be competing in the Olympics. Moreover, Katy felt that the song is appropriate, considering all the tragic events that have been happening around the world. 

"This is a song that's been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface. I was inspired to finish it now, rather than save it for my next album, because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite," she said. "I know that together we can rise above the fear—in our country, and around the world. I can't think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be."

"I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together. I am honored that NBC Olympics has chosen to use it as an anthem before and during the Rio Games."
