MTV and AdCouncil have teamed up with singer-songwriter, artist, and composer Vo Williams for their historic Vote For Your Life campaign to get people out to vote, because our lives depend on it. The campaign’s anthem is Vo’s powerful track “History in the Making,” which they felt underscored the urgency and magnitude of the issues at stake during the election this year, especially for young, black, and Latinx people.

“History in the Making” is Vo’s tribute and contribution to everyone. The track, which was heavily inspired by the current political climate in America, is incredibly motivating for everyone to keep pushing forward through the challenging times. It’s a reminder that by using our power to vote we can literally make history.

This momentous track is paired with a jarring music video, which was created by Vo himself, that highlights clips of protests, riots, police brutality, white supremacy, and speeches from civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. 

2020 will go down in history as one of the most revolutionary years in American history. Social injustices, women’s rights, a global pandemic, and an unprecedented presidential race have taken the front seat. And Vo Williams stands on the front lines to fight the systemic issues that have run rampant in America for far too long.

Quote from Vo on voting:

“Voting for me has taken center stage in my life more than it ever has. I hear a few kids saying, ‘Why should I vote? They don’t care what I think.’ I resonated with that ideal because I also felt powerless and insignificant against a seemingly unstoppable systemic force. But this could not be further from reality. You can’t watch change happen in the White House. In the same way that we must share songs, videos, and buy downloads in order to bring success to our favorite music, we must also go out and vote!”
