Eddie Vedder and Obama Foundation release ‘Better Believe’ music video

Eddie Vedder, the Obama Foundation, and the Chicago-based nonprofit Guitars Over Guns have released the official music video for the collaborative single ‘Better Believe’. The project highlights a partnership between established artists and the next generation of musicians, following a live performance at the Obama Presidential Center dedication on June 18.

The song was recorded at Columbia College Chicago, involving Audio Arts students and alumni who worked alongside young musicians from Guitars Over Guns. The collaboration was facilitated by Andre “Add-2” Daniels, a professor at Columbia College and regional director for Guitars Over Guns.

In a philanthropic effort, all royalties earned by Vedder and the song’s co-writers will be donated to Guitars Over Guns. The organization focuses on youth development through music, mentorship, and arts-based programming to expand opportunities for young people.
