With less than 10 days to go for Expo 2020 Dubai, a new theme song has been released.

Titled This Is Our Time, the song highlights pride in the UAE’s culture, celebrates the future and brings together nations from around the world.

Importantly, it aims to convey the story of Expo 2020 Dubai’s overarching theme of "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future" through music.

The song features Hussain Al Jassmi, one of the UAE’s biggest artists and Expo 2020 Ambassador, accompanied by Lebanese-American Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Mayssa Karaa, who is also Artistic Director of Expo’s all-female Firdaus Orchestra, and 21-year-old Emirati singer-songwriter Almas, named in Spotify’s Best Female Talent in the Middle East.
