Children

Edit

“Children” is a song from the Purpose album. Justin posted a snippet of the song on Instagram.

Background[]

Children happened through Pulse Music. Maejor had heard Nico's stuff and wanted to work with him. 5 months before the record came out, Maejor had an acapella laying around of Children, which was then a guitar demo. Nico worked on the song and sent stems over to Justin's team through Maejor. They were then used by Bloodpop and Skrillex who added the drop. The small elements like Nico's snare sounds were kept.[2]

[Verse]
What about the children?
Look at all the children we can change
What about a vision?
Be a visionary for a change
We’re the generation
Who’s gonna be the one to fight for it
We’re the inspiration
Do you believe enough to die for it?

[Chorus]
Who’s got the heart? Who’s got it?
Whose heart is the biggest?
Wear it on your sleeve
Bet we can make a difference (Oh yeah)
Who’s got the heart? Who’s got it?
Whose heart is the biggest? (Now)
Wear it on your sleeve
Bet we can make a difference (Oh yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah
Who’s got the heart?
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

[Verse]
What about the children?
Look at all the children we can change
What about a vision?
Be a visionary for a change
We’re the generation (Oh, whoa oh)
Who’s gonna be the one to fight for it (Oh, whoa oh)
We’re the inspiration
Do you believe enough to die for it?
To die for it

[Chorus]
Who’s got the heart? Who’s got it?
Whose heart is the biggest?
Wear it on your sleeve
Bet we can make a difference (Oh yeah)
Who’s got the heart? Who’s got it?
Whose heart is the biggest?
Wear it on your sleeve
Bet we can make a difference (Oh yeah)
Oh, whoa, now
Bet we can make a difference (Oh yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah
Who’s got the heart?
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
