Everyone (Olympics song)

The song was sung by five artistes, namely Sean Kingston, Tabitha Nauser, Jody Williams, Stevie Appleton and Jessica Mauboy, each representing one of the five continents of the world.

Typically, the songs would be sung by an artiste from the host country, centering upon a theme related to the Olympics or the spirit of the games.

Many of these songs have gone on to do well in music charts, the most recent example before Everyone being that of I Believe by Nikki Yanofsky, which topped the Canadian Hot 100 list dated 27 February 2010.

The first cheer song, You Are The One Singapore, was released in April 2010 and had been specially composed and performed by local artiste JJ Lin.

An accompanying music video with choreographed cheer movements was also launched, featuring sports icons Ang Peng Siong and C. Kunalan together with Singaporean athletes Tao Li and twins Nicole and Tabitha Tay.

In addition, Singapore Sports Council CEO Oon Jin Teik challenged Singaporeans to come up with a YOG cheer of their own (which had to be accompanied by a YouTube video).

The local The New Paper started a contest for readers to submit cheers, which eventually received five submissions, including one from former beauty queen Ris Low.
