Diane Warren composed "I'm Standing With You" for Chrissy Metz in the film Breakthrough, which scored an Oscar nod for best original song this year. But that hit took on a whole new meaning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Warren teamed up with director Gev Miron and composer/arranger Sharon Farber to turn Metz's uplifting anthem into an epic chorus sung by more than 170 artists from six continents as showcased in the monumental music video. The global effort has raised more than $5 million for the United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization (WHO) since its premiere last Friday (May 22) and hopes to raise $7.5 million in the fundraiser's remaining 34 days.

We couldn't have asked for a better more fitting way to end our 20th season!

TMCO is honored to have been invited to be part of the #ImStandingWithYou project, a global musical collaboration and a humanitarian effort to help spread love, unity, gratitude, and healing through music while raising funds to those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The song features 170 musicians from all around the world who have joined together to create a music video of the Oscar nominated original song "I’m Standing With You” written by iconic songwriter Diane Warren, in support of the United Nations Foundation COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund (#covid19fund) for the World Health Organization (WHO). The arrangement of the song is by Emmy nominated TV/Film composer Sharon Farber and directed by award-winning director Gev Miron.
