Michael Buble records quarantine anthem 'Gotta Be Patient' for COVID-19 relief
Check out the artist's new song for coronavirus relief.
After hearing a song called "Gotta Be Patient" written by Spanish musical group Stay Homas while in quarantine, Michael Buble decided to put his own spin on the track with a little help from some friends.
Buble teamed up with Barenaked Ladies and Mexican artist Sofia Reyes on a new version of the song, with all of the proceeds going to various COVID-19 relief charities.
"I couldn’t get the song out of my head and the more I thought about it and despite the difficulties of putting it together with everyone isolating at home, I went for it," Buble said in a statement.
He added, "I reached out to Barenaked Ladies and Sofia, who agreed to come on board. The bilingual aspect, along with the song’s message, was especially appealing since we are all in this together. I’m reminded of that while going back and forth in English and Spanish with my kids daily. Seems like one big language."
The singer will donate his proceeds from "Gotta Be Patient" to the Red Cross in his native Canada and his wife’s native Argentina.
The Barenaked Ladies will donate their proceeds to Cultural Survival, which provides support to indigenous communities worldwide. Reyes will donate her proceeds to various Latin charities.
Stay Homas has been recording a new song each day from their Barcelona rooftop during quarantine.
