According to Today, “Hello World” was written and produced by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. It was recorded in collaboration with Coca-Cola and the International Olympic Committee. On Thursday, a music video was released featuring the two singers.

.Paak starts the song on a Coca-Cola themed set, singing, “Hello world, where ya been? / I’ve been waitin’ for you and your friends / One love begins / Tip-top, we startin’ at ten.” The upbeat chorus features the word “yeah” over and and over.

Stefani then appears in a sparkly outfit, standing on a platform shaped like a Coke bottle. She sings, “I don’t need to tell you, I don’t need to explain / It’s ‘Hello World,’ we showin’ up, we changin’ the game.”

The shots of .Paak and Stefani are intercut with clips of athletes competing in past Olympics — including swimmers, runners, soccer players, and more. The two singers eventually team up to perform in front of the Olympic rings.
