Michelle Obama enlists some of music’s finest for an all-star girl power anthem called “This Is For My Girls,” featuring Zendaya, Missy Elliott, Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monae, Kelly Clarkson, Chloe & Halle, Jadagrace and Lea Michele. The mega collaboration was also penned by esteemed songwriter Diane Warren, per Rap-Up.
“This Is For My Girls” rounds up the powerhouse vocalists for the Obama administration’s Let Girls Learn initiative and the White House’s #62MillionGirls campaign, which aims to help “more than 62 million girls around the world” complete their education.
