\n\u201cI think the song helps us connect to what the Pope is inviting us to. But it also says to young people during the ongoing pandemic, 'Get up. We have been going through a challenging situation, but God is here. Jesus is here to say: Get up.'\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe realized that music is very important for young people and within the Church. So we looked for his contemporary rhythm that they like. We also looked at what else there is on social media, where the youth spend their time today. And we found that they really like choreography, dance and music. So we decided to prepare a contest, which we called the WYD 2021 Challenge.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
