“The Human Race,” an empowering anthem, is set to premiere Thursday, Nov. 17 at 5 p.m. ET on Radio Disney and Radio Disney Country. The song was recorded in Nashville in conjunction with Radio Disney’s Share the Joy campaign, which was created to inspire kids and families to volunteer and spread goodwill to those who need it most this holiday season.

“The dedication and talent of so many artists and performers on this song manifests heart and humanity, and the positive power of music in our lives,” said Phil Guerini, VP of music strategy for Disney Channels Worldwide and GM of Radio Disney Networks.”

Other artists participating in the event include Jessie Chris, Savannah Keyes, Bailey Bryan, Tegan Marie, Jordan Fisher, Skylar Stecker, Alex Aiono, Kalie Shorr and Temecula Road.

A sneak peek of the music video will air Thursday, Nov. 24 at 8 p.m. ET during The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration on ABC. The full video will be available on the Radio Disney app on Nov. 25.
