It was recorded in November 1984 as a charity single for famine relief in Ethiopia and released the following month on December 3.

It spent five weeks at number one on the UK charts, selling over one million copies in its first week alone—an astonishing achievement.

Because the song carries a strong message, it’s worth taking the time to understand the lyrics rather than just singing it for the vibe.
