Alicia Keys debuted her new song "Good Job" last night during CNN's global town hall on the fight against COVID-19. According to CNN, the 15-time Grammer winner was in tears when she saw the accompanying visuals spotlighting health care professionals, grocery store workers, parents, teachers and everyone else who has stepped up during this unprecedented time.
Keys says the song was originally written months ago to honor unsung heroes in her own life. She later realized that the lyrics could also serve as a tribute to the everyday heroes seeing us through the COVID-19 pandemic.
"A lot of times people don't feel like they're doing a good job. They feel underwater and like there's never going to be a brighter day," she said. "Fast forward to now, with where we are now, and it's almost like the song was written for this and I didn't know it."
Starting today, viewers and visitors to CNN platforms will be invited to share pictures and videos of people from their communities who are doing their part to make the world a better, safer and healthier place. CNN will recognize a collection of these everyday heroes each week.
