Kane Brown debuts new song 'Worldwide Beautiful' highlighting love and equality
"White churches, black churches / Different people, same hearses."
Kane Brown's new song, "Worldwide Beautiful," is one he's been saving for quite a while now, but during the current movement against racism and police brutality, the singer says it was the perfect time to share it.
"Worldwide Beautiful" is an anthem for equality, calling on fans to open their hearts and see beyond racial divides.
"You're missing every color / if you're only seeing black and white / Tell me how you're gonna change your mind / if your heart's unmovable," Brown, 26, sings in the chorus. "We ain't that different from each other / From one another, I look around / and see worldwide beautiful."
The song benefits the Boys and Girls Club of America, an equality advocacy group that fights against racism and discrimination and builds positive environments for young people.
Kane teased the release of "Worldwide Beautiful" late last year, and the song also lends its name to the singer's most recent tour. He returned to the track this week, just a couple of days after issuing a statement on social media rallying against discrimination and division.
Simultaneously, millions of Americans have turned out in protest following the murder of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died in Minneapolis on May 25 after white former police officer Derek Chauvin pressed a knee against his neck for nearly nine minutes, according to a charging document.
Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd's death. Protests across the country and around the world have grown, demanding justice for him and the end to unnecessary police brutality against black people.
