have teamed up for an official campaign song for the Biden/Harris campaign, “The Change,” and they both spoke withabout what led up to today’s release of the new track, which represents a new wrinkle in the often wild and wooly intersection of pop music and presidential politics.
Says JoJo, “Especially during this experience of COVID-19 that we’re all living through together, I think we’ve all been maybe more introspective than we ever have been or were prepared to be, and I have realized that personal accountability is just something that’s probably on not just my mind, but other people’s as well. So when she sent it to me, it definitely resonated.
There was a short path of considering other artists before JoJo coming on board became the change that the song wanted to see, so to speak. Warren says the idea was always to go young, not look for a boomer or Gen-X favorite. “Everybody was kind of on the younger side,” says the songwriter. “It was finding the perfect voice for the song, really, and ultimately JoJo definitely was it. It’s so funny because she’s been around so long that people think she’s an older artist. They don’t realize she’s 29 years old, because she was making records when she was 12. I worked on her second album, when I think she was 15 or 16.
She continues, “When I said that I’m not political, what I mean is that I’m disappointed by the fact that we still have a two-party system. And I just think that there has got to be a better way; I would like to see that reimagined. But I think that the past four years have brought so much division, it’s made it so people can’t and don’t even talk to each other — don’t even see each other as human anymore — and it’s sad. So I believe in that which can connect all of us.
