Two-time Grammy and Billboard Award winner Jonas Myrin will release his brand new original song and video, “For The Ones We Love,” with Capitol CMG on March 26. A truly international affair, the track was co-written by Jonas and Grammy-nominated songwriter Sam Ellis (Lady A, Ingrid Andress), co-produced in Sweden with Elias Kapari (Kygo, Icona Pop), and features string orchestrations by Erik Arvinder (Childish Gambino, John Legend), conducting the Stockholm Symphony. Jonas acknowledges the role of music in these anxious times: “We all need hope right now. I want to remind people that no matter what we’re facing or going through, love is greater. Together, we can overcome anything.”
The single’s timeless lyrics remind us of the power of unconditional love: “When life breaks down / Sweep the glass away. And forgive, forget the hurt of the past… What we do for the ones we love…” The song’s stunning video, directed by Se Oh, features Jonas in a dreamlike world sitting next to a white grand piano where an angel appears, reminding us of the gift of love.
Crossing many genres, Jonas believes his music has a message for everyone: “I came up with the idea for ‘For The Ones We Love’ while touring the UNITED STATES” he adds. “I was sitting alone by a piano in an empty room, thinking about my loved ones in Sweden. Even though I was physically halfway around the world, I felt them so close at that moment. It’s amazing that there is no distance to love and that we carry each other in our hearts wherever we go. Throughout this pandemic, everything has come full circle and these words have come to life in a new way.
“Everywhere I go, the piano is my home, and it brings purpose – and there I feel true peace and fully alive. I have never seen music as a job because it has always kept me going, and it is the healer and friend that has given me strength through all the seasons and storms. I am so grateful to have a new platform to share my songs and with it, an opportunity to positively impact people’s lives.”
Launching his music career in the early 2000s as a songwriter in London, Jonas has had a profound global impact with 13 chart-topping anthems and winning two Grammys. Myrin’s career highlights include writing and co-producing four songs on Barbra Streisand’s critically acclaimed 2018 album Walls; co-writing “Gloria The Gift of Life,” recorded by Andrea Bocelli on his If collection (the first classical album to reach No. 1 in the UNITED STATES and in the UK) and recently featured in the film Fatima; and writing “Together In This”, the title track from Jungle Beat: The Movie, recorded by Natasha Bedingfield, which has been viewed over 16 million times on TikTok and over 1 million views on YouTube.
Later in the summer of 2020, her debut single as a U.S. artist “Not Alone” was added to over 4,100 playlists worldwide. Other musical highlights include co-writing “At This Table,” from Idina Menzel’s holiday album, A Season of Love, which became one of the most-streamed original Christmas songs of 2019; co-writing and performing with Nicole Scherzinger, “Victorious,” the closing song of the 2019 World Games at the Special Olympics Abu Dhabi that was viewed by over 100 million people; and writing “Beautiful Life,” an international hit single for Simon Fuller’s new global music group NowUnited, which topped streaming charts around the world. He wrote and performed the finale song “Noel (Just a Breath Away)” from the 2020 film release Three Wise Men. Jonas has also collaborated with Celine Dion, David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Jessica Simpson, and many more. Additionally, he has written songs for international icons from around the world from Brazil, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, including Vanessa Paradis, Gaëtan Roussel, Vanessa da Mata at Tohoshinki, and many more.
