WATCH HERE – LISTEN HERE
Global superstar Jason Derulo travelled to his homeland of Haiti to create the official music video for Colors. The song is Coca-Cola®’s anthem for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ and on the day the song debuted, Jason posted on social media that he had the idea of unity in mind as he was writing the uptempo jam.
Shot in Miami (where Jason was raised) and at The Citadelle Laferriére (a mountaintop fortress located in Nord, Haiti) the video brings individuals together from around the world to celebrate their respective flags and nationalities. A guitar-strumming Wyclef Jean, also of Haitian descent, represents his colours in a cameo as well.
The vibrant video was directed by Gil Green, who also directed Derulo’s Stupid Love and Swalla (which has garnered over 1 billion views and reached Double Platinum sales in Australia).
“As the lyrics say, ‘There’s beauty in the unity we’ve found.’ We’re inundated every day with negative news and it’s hard to remain positive. That’s why it’s more important than ever to unite with people in your community to try and make a difference. As a Haitian-American, I’ve become more and more invested in giving back to where my family is from. To that extent, this song is a bit of a launch of plans that I am excited to reveal soon…”

Colours lyrics excerpt:
Look how far we’ve come
There’s beauty in the unity we’ve found
We still got a long way
But look how far we’ve come
Hands up for your colors
Ready the people
A new day has just begun
And I wear my colors on my back (celebrate, celebrate)
We’re created equal
One race, and that’s human
Can’t wait til they all see, all see that
