‘You are the one that made us all realize, that we are the world’ – The Game

R.I.P. Michael

and I cannot not comment on the fact that having scenes of The Game being in his bathtub with candles is worthy of a pause.

I have no clue how they all came together to do this massive collaboration (except for the Fueled by Ramen artists) … but here’s what Gym Class Heroes own Travis McCoy had to say about it.

Open Happiness was created in the spirit of dedication and collaboration with artists and producers from across the US. It turned Coke’s famous “5-note tune” into a full length song. Butch Walker oversaw the recording of Travis McKoy and Brendon Urie in NYC, Cee-Lo and Janelle Monae in Atlanta, and Patrick Stump in LA. Butch Walker and Polow Da Don came together to mix multiple versions of the single, and add additional recordings. This continent-wide collaboration is now realized in Open Happiness. – Travis McCoy
