With the track in the making for three years, Garrix had felt from the early stages - after being named official artist of the UEFA EURO 2020 2 years ago - of the creative process that Bono’s vocals would make the perfect fit for “We Are the People.”

His vision came to life when both Bono and his U2 bandmate The Edge agreed to feature on the song. The collaboration evolved further with Bono writing the lyrics and creating melodies and The Edge adding the leading guitar riffs, resulting in a perfect blend of the signature sounds of each artist.
The anthem is featuring Bono's vocals and The Edge' guitar riffs plus Garrix's signature electronic production, and "hopes to reflect the positivity, hope, and determination required for any team to succeed."
