"Here to Love" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Lenny Kravitz from his 11th studio album Raise Vibration.[1] It was released as the album's fifth single on November 21, 2019. The music video for the song was directed by Mathieu Bitton.

Background[edit]

Kravitz partnered with the UN Human Rights Office to fight racism and to promote equality worldwide;[2] "Here to Love" is used as the theme song to support the campaign #FightRacism in 2020 and beyond.[3][4][5] The song markes Kravitz's directorial debut—he created the black-and-white video himself, showing various people of different races, genders, religions, backgrounds, who first stand alone and then united—as an illustration of human diversity.[6] Kravitz also explained, "The 'Here to Love' video is a procession of humanity, showing our beautiful differences while celebrating our oneness."[4]
