Different World (Alan Walker song)

The song was written by Swedish Grammis-nominated songwriter Shy Martin,[1] among others including Fredrik Borch Olse, Gunnar Greve, Magnus Bertelsen, James Daniel Njie Eriksen, Kenneth Nilsen, Marcus Arnbekk and Mengzhou Hu.

[2] It was released alongside an accompanying campaign titled "#CreateADifferentWorld", in which Walker addresses the importance of climate change.

[a] For most of the video, images were depicted of oceans filled with trash, air pollution, wildfires, hurricanes, and other kinds of disaster scenarios linked to climate change.

An alternative music video was released on 13 December 2018, produced in a vertical format and meant to be viewed on a smartphone in portrait orientation.

Billboard noted the song as "depicting the sad state of our planet with hard-to-watch images of polluted oceans, forest fires and communities under water," along with suggesting the lack of awareness or pretence regarding the issue of climate change by people in power.
