Watch Video Of Bono And The Edge Of U2 Teaming Up With Martin Garrix On “We Are The People”

Check out Bono and The Edge of U2 guesting with Martin Garrix on a track called “We Are The People”.

Dutch DJ Martin Garrix got some help from Bono and The Edge of U2 on a new song called “We Are the People.”

The song was completed before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

It is the official song of the UEFA European Football Championship.

The song’s release was pushed back when the tournament was pushed back to 2021.

Garrix started work on “We Are the People’' three years ago.

He was listening to an early demo version when he realized the song had quite a U2 kind of feel.

He imagined what it would be like to get them on the song, but assumed that just wasn’t going to happen.

According to Ultimate Classic Rock, the rest of the story goes like this “And then my manager was like, ‘Well, you can always try to reach out to U2,’” Garrix recalled to Rolling Stone. “If you never reach out, you always have a no.”

To the DJ’s surprise, he got a phone call from Bono only six hours after sending the singer an email. “I remember I had to mute myself on the phone during the conversation just to scream and then unmute and play it cool,” Garrix admitted, noting that Bono already had vocal ideas during that initial call. “It was incredible.”

The three musicians recorded “We Are the People” in Monaco, an experience Garrix will never forget. “I had goosebumps in the studio the entire time,” the DJ confessed. “Because it’s Bono standing next to me singing the song.”
