Songfacts®:

  • On this track from his 11th studio album, Lenny Kravitz returns to his favorite subject: love. This time, it's about his love for his fellow man. "If there could be a global anthem - instead of countries having national anthems - this would be the anthem. I dreamt that song completely," Kravitz told Rolling Stone. "I think it's so powerful, and I think every word is just in place. It's about how we should be living, how we should be loving, how we should be respecting each other and thinking about each other. The lyrics to that song are what letting love rule would be. It's very powerful to me. I don't even take credit for that song. It was handed to me."
  • In 2019, Kravitz contributed a new rendition titled "Here To Love (#fight racism)" as the theme song to the UN Human Rights Office's campaign to fight racism and promote equality worldwide. He also filmed an accompanying music video that introduces an array of people of different ethnicities and backgrounds. Kravitz explained: "'The Here To Love' video is a procession of humanity, showing our beautiful differences while celebrating our oneness."
