OTHER NOTES |
On the fourth of July in 1999 Bono checked out Wyclef Jean's
studio in his New Jersey basement. While there, the idea was broached
to take Wyclef's song "New Day" and to re-record it under the title "War
Child" with additional vocals by Bono. The two recorded the song
the next day, but by the time it appeared in shops it was still titled
"New Day".
Bono is credited on the cover of the single but he only appears on the
"Pop" versions of the track, or in this case, the Pop Acapella, the Pop
Main, and the Pop Radio Edit versions. The Pop Main version is the
version that featured on the USA commercial release
of the single. |
