Performers in the song's music video include One Direction, Lorde, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Wonder, Florence Welch, Sir Elton John, Brian Wilson - the song’s writer – and many more.

Wilson told The Guardian he was overjoyed with how the song came together.

The video comes 17 years after the BBC released an all-star version of Lou Reed’s 'Perfect Day' to generate donations to the broadcaster.

This latest song was released to mark the launch of BBC Music and will be released as a single, with all money raised going to the BBC’s Children in Need charity.
