WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY SONG?
The Community Song is a unique project where all primary school children enrolled with SMASH HIT Songwriting School have the chance to come together to write a uniquely original song. Every child across the UK contributes to the lyrics, melody, or music, and the project aims to set a world record for the most songwriters on a single song. This experience celebrates creativity, collaboration, teamwork, and the power of young voices.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
All children who took part joined a world record attempt, have their songwriting contributions officially credited. They also saw the final song released on all major streaming platforms. For 2026, the brief for the community song was Spring time. Penned by over 70 children who worked remotely, the original song was then put together by Alex Vass. The original song was release on Friday the 3rd of April 2026 and was accompanied by a music video featuring the young songwriters. The community song gave every participant the chance to be a part of a truly historic and memorable musical experience.
