Listen to “”Let Peace Prevail” was performed as the theme song at the 21st United Nations International Peace Day grand music concert in Times Square” on Spreaker.
On September 20, 2025, New York time, the 21st United Nations International Peace Concert in 2025, jointly produced by the World Madam Foundation, Good News, OMMM, etc., achieved complete success. The event started at 11:30 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. with more than 100 volunteers holding the flags representing 193 countries of the United Nations forming a circle symbolizing unity and peace and calling out “Let peace Prevail” in unison. During the event, two songs, “Dear World” and “Let peace Prevail”, sparked enthusiastic responses from both online and offline audiences.
”Dear World” was composed by Dai Rui, the President of the International Artificial Intelligence Association, who traveled a long – distance to the event site in person and sang it jointly with American male singer Mark MK McLaughlin and American female singer Renee Knorr.
“Let peace Prevail” was jointly sung by Huang Annie, the founder of the World Madam Foundation and the representative of the composition, Liora Michelle Greeng, the 2024 Global Champion of World Mrs., American young singer Martin Qin, and American male singer Mark MK McLaughlin.
These two songs skillfully blend passionate and lyrical melodies. Through their emotionally – charged lyrics, they depict a fervent yearning for peace and a beautiful vision for future life.
The English lyrics of “Let peace Prevail” were written by Wang Jiangang, the Vice – President of the United Nations Correspondents Association. Anni Huang, the founder of the World Madam Foundation, was responsible for the Chinese lyrics, and Liu Liangzi, the 2021 Global Runner – up of World Madam, composed the music. She and American singer Josh Moran gave the song’s premiere at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 8, 2024. This song has been translated into the six official working languages of the United Nations: Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic, and has been released around the world.
When Anni Huang was interviewed by the media and shared her creative insights, she said, “When I first entered the United Nations, I saw the words of former UN Secretary – General Ban Ki – moon, ‘The World is Over – armed, and Peace is Under – funded’, which gave me profound inspiration and a strong spiritual shock. I hope that by creating this song full of hope and strength, it can shine like a beam of light on people’s longing for peace in their hearts and inspire people to work together for world peace as a gift for the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.”
The International Day of Peace was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981. It aims to advocate a global cease – fire and non – violence, and to commemorate and strengthen the ideal of peace. This festival is set on September 21st every year, calling on all countries and peoples to stop hostilities on this day. Since its establishment, it has become a global event, encouraging people to promote peace through education and public awareness.
