Lin Manuel Miranda and Jennifer Lopez to re-release charity single LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND!!

See the source image

LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE!!! 5 years later, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jennifer Lopez have re-released their charity song LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND for a very special cause. Both Latin performers are helping both support The Hispanic Federation. It continue to celebrate love, foster community, and raise additional funds to honor the victims, their families, survivors, and the community….. even especially during this previous past year of the COVID-19 pandemic and support of diversity.
LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND was originally released in July 2016 following Miranda’s departure from Hamilton on Broadway. The song was recorded as a benefit anthem single to support of those who were effected by the tragic PULSE Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. When the shooting happened was also the night Miranda and the full HAMILTON team took home their Tony Awards glory. Most notably when winning for BEST ORIGINAL SCORE, Miranda gave a very emotional speech in support of those in Orlando with the famous saying LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE.
Lopez and Miranda performed the song at various talk shows including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Today Show. A Music video was released as well.
How powerful is this song?
Who is excited?!!
