Take That star Gary Barlow is convinced his charity single featuring several British rappers will inspire youngsters to chase their dreams after a summer (11) rocked by riots in the U.K.
The singer formed a new band called The Collective - made up of famous faces including Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder and N-Dubz frontwoman Tulisa Contostavlos - for this year's (11) official track to support Britain's Children In Need charity.
Teardrop was recorded in August (11), and Barlow admits watching news coverage of young rioters looting shops and causing chaos in cities including London and Manchester made him realise the potential power of the song.
He tells Britain's The Sun, "We did our initial recording around the time of all the riots this summer. I remember thinking to myself, this is a double whammy.
"These guys are going to talk to the people before they get of an age where they'll be out there doing these b**ody things. It really felt like we had to do this, this year.
"After the riots, the urban scene didn't get the best respect out of it. I think this kind of thing shows people another side to us. I really believe this song is going to say a lot after what happened and even speak to some of the kids that were involved in the riots."
