The Music of The World Games is proud to present “Hope Of Alabama,” the official theme song celebrating the unity of people from different backgrounds, as the city of Birmingham, Alabama prepares to host the 2022 World Games.

“This song is a clarion call for the world when we need it the most - a call for hope and unity,” says The World Games 2022 CEO Nick Sellers. “‘Hope of Alabama’ is a testament to music’s power to lift humanity to a better place.”

Featuring a star-studded roster of artists, the song was composed and produced by Dr. Henry Panion III, the Artistic Director of the World Games. It was co-written by Randy Owen and his daughter, Allison. It features a wide range of artists from various genres, including rock, country and R&B.

As the world’s best athletes descend on Birmingham for the World Games, they are sent home with more than just medals. The message of Hope of Alabama is that everyone can hold on to the same goal.

“I want everyone to feel like they’re a part of something larger than just one. A feeling of feeling needed and wanted,” says one of the artists Randy Owen.
