Believe it or not, We Are The People has been in the making for three years.  Martin ‘felt from the early stages of the creative process that Bono’s vocals would make the perfect fit for the song.’  His vision soon came to life when both Bono and The Edge agreed to be featured on the song, “Creating the music for one of the biggest sports events in the world together with Bono and The Edge has been an incredible experience. I’m very proud of what we did together and excited to finally share it with the world!” Martin says.
