For My Girls".
Just in time for Michelle Obama's keynote address at South by
Southwest in Austin, the First Lady has assembled an all-star
empowerment anthem featuring artists like Missy Elliott, Zendaya, Kelly
Clarkson and more in a song titled "This Is for My Girls" which will be available for download at midnight Wednesday on iTunes.
Oscar-nominated songwriter, Diane Warren penned the track, which
also features vocal contributions from Lea Michele, Janelle Monae, Kelly
Rowland, Jadagrace and Chloe & Halle.
Warren, Elliott, Queen Latifah and actress Sophia Bush will join
Obama for her SXSW keynote panel on Wednesday. Both the panel and the
song support the 'Let Girls Learn initiative' and White House's #62MillionGirls campaign, which helps young women around the world complete their education.
