On January 12 an 7.0 Mw earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale devastated the island displacing an estimated three million people.
So far, some 170,000 bodies have been counted, with reports claiming that 20,000 commercial buildings and 225,000 residences had collapsed or were severely damaged by the quake.
Masses of emergency relief has been shipped in to help those affected by the disaster, and fundraising efforts have been put into effect around the globe, with many celebrities aiding the efforts.
The new single is one of three songs to be released in aid of the Haiti appeal.
