\n

\u201cIt is an honour to sing on the Children in Need single. Let\u2019s all help make it into a big smash record to help the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cher<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n

\n

“I felt very emotional recording this song, it was very important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lenny Kravitz<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are living in a time when children need all the support they can get and so it is a pleasure to be collaborating with so many great artists for such an important cause. I hope this song reminds everyone that we are all in this together and we can make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kylie Minogue<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cChildren in Need is such a special charity and so loved by everyone, including me.\u00a0 It was a privilege to take part in this recording with so many amazing artists.

\n

\u201cChildren in Need is such a brilliant charity & the work they do is always incredible so it\u2019s a total privilege to able to be a part of this single & do my little bit to help. To perform alongside such an awesome list of artists makes it extra special. I wish I could be there with Pudsey in person, but instead I must wish Children in Need all the best with the fundraising from afar.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Nile Rodgers<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI have a long history of doing great things with the BBC Radio 2 team and the UK is my home from home so I know exactly how important Children in Need is and the important work they do for children throughout the UK is very familiar to me. When Jeff Smith asked me to participate I immediately said yes as regardless of the pandemic we must do everything in our power to ensure there is no disruption in supporting these children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Helen Thomas<\/strong>, Head of Radio 2, commented:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBBC Radio 2 have had a special relationship with BBC Children in Need for decades. I have seen the transformative impact of their work on the lives of children and young people in need of support which is why I am so proud to be announcing this incredibly special single today.\u00a0 There are so many people to thank, but special credit really must go to Radio 2\u2019s Head of Music Jeff Smith who has worked tirelessly to create this phenomenal track. He has done the most incredible job and I hope our listeners love it as much as I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tommy Nagra<\/strong>, Director of Content at BBC Children in Need, said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOn behalf of everyone at BBC Children in Need, I would like to extend my enormous thanks to the team at BBC Radio 2 and of course all of the incredible artists and musicians who have come together to create this re-imagining of a classic Oasis track . This year more than ever, children and young people across the UK need our help. The single will not only raise vital funds, but demonstrate that we are here for \u00a0children and young people in need of hope, and will continue to be here for them during these troubling times.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jeff Smith<\/strong>, Head of Music: BBC Radio 2 & 6 Music, said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI would like to thank Mark Taylor and Brian Rawling for brilliantly producing this record plus Phill Deacon for making an amazing film of the song. I\u2019d also like to thank every single artist and musician who helped bring this extraordinary track to life. I think the lyrics within this song are extremely poignant given the times we are in, and hope this song not only raises vital funds for children and young people across the UK, but also brings hope to people that need it, as the lyrics say \u201c\u2026. just try not to worry, you\u2019ll see them someday.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
