We Are Here (Alicia Keys song)
}}
"We Are Here" is a song by American recording artist Alicia Keys from her upcoming sixth studio album, which is expected to release sometime in 2015. It was written and produced by Keys, Swizz Beatz, Mark Batson, and Harold Lilly. The song debuted on Keys' Facebook page on September 8, 2014, accompanied by a text post explaining Keys' motivations and inspirations for the song. An up-tempo ballad, "We Are Here" describes Keys' frustration with both national and international issues, including the conflict between Israel and Gaza and the outbreak of the Ebola virus, as well as problems with education and gun laws in the United States. It was released digitally a week later and Keys performed the song on ''Today'' on September 15.
Following the song's release, Keys launched a movement, called the We Are Here Movement,〔(WeAreHereMovement.com )〕 for more social justice. On the site of the cause, people can read about and donate to 12 different groups, striving towards, among other things, improving gay rights, fighting racial inequity in the American justice system, and also her own organization, Keep a Child Alive. Keys donated $1 million of her own money divided equally amongst the 12 groups.〔
==Critical reception==
''Billboard'' rated the song two stars out of five and gave the song a negative review.〔 The review stated that an attempt "to effect social change through song would hit if it weren't such an overwrought exercise in cliche. The midtempo cut attempts to unify, but its earnestness is embarrassing".〔 ("We Are Here" reviewed by Steven J. Horowitz)〕 "We Are Here" is nominated for "Best Song with a Message" award at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.
