"We Are the World: 25 for Haiti" is an inspiring song done and recorded by the group of the Artists of the past and new generation to help out the poor earthquake victims of the 7.0 magnitude that hit Haiti in 2010.
It is a remake of the 1985 hit song "We Are the World", which was written by American musicians Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and was recorded by USA for Africa to benefit famine relief in Africa. Initially, in late 2009, it had been suggested to Richie and Quincy Jones—producer of the original "We Are the World"—that a re-cut version of the song be re-released under the title "Live 25".
The song was recorded in fourteen hours by over eighty artists on February 1, and was released on February 12, 2010. "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" was released as a CD single and a music download. It was produced by RedOne, and executively produced by Richie, Jones and Haitian-American musician Wyclef Jean. A music video directed by Paul Haggis was released to accompany and promote the song.
