Chaka Khan, Idina Menzel remake 'I'm Every Woman' for International Women's Day

Legendary hitmaker Chaka Khan teamed up with award-winning singer Idina Menzel to release a remake her iconic song "I'm Every Woman" in honor of International Women's Day on Monday.

The duo partnered with international humanitarian organization CARE to release the new version of the empowering 1978 hit, kicking off the organization's #IMEVERYWOMAN campaign.

Khan, a 10-time Grammy winner, famously released "I'm Every Woman" as her solo artist debut in 1978, and the song found continued success when late artist Whitney Houston recorded another version for "The Bodyguard" soundtrack in 1992.

The music video for the reimagined hit features activists, leaders and notable names like Sheryl Sandberg, Bellamy Young, Laverne Cox, Alexandra Daddario and Iman describing how they view women across the globe.

Other faces featured in the video include "trailblazers, frontline heroes, artists and incredible women from across the globe who have benefited from CARE’s programs," according to a press release.

The remake was produced by Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Tena Clark.

Menzel described the significance of the song in a statement to "Good Morning America."

"'I'm Every Woman' means never withholding your gifts from the world and giving yourself permission to shine, because when you give yourself permission, you give permission for other women to step into the light as well," Menzel said. "Send a care package to empower women and girls all over the world."

CARE's #IMEVERYWOMAN campaign will celebrate the "strength, resilience and leadership of every woman around the world, especially in the face of colossal challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic," according to the organization. A weekly virtual conversation series around the campaign kicks off March 10.

Inspiring women will lead the virtual series and discuss topical social issues, like gender equity, leadership, social justice and more.
