What first lady do you know can drop a song with some of the hottest music artists in the industry? Michelle Obama can! Yesterday, the FLOTUS released a song titled "This Is For My Girls" featuring a host of music stars, including Missy Elliot, Zendaya, Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monáe, Lea Michele, Jadagrace, and Chloe & Halle. The song that is being called the next girls anthem is part of the Let Girls Learn campaign. "This Is For My Girls" is not First Lady Michelle Obama's released a tune. She also released a rap song that featured herself in 2015 called "Go to College" to promote education.

Startling statistics by the White House says that 62 million girls around the globe do not attend school. This means that future doctors, artists, engineers, lawyers, beauticians, musicians, etc. are not given a chance to exist, and that is sad. Michelle Obama, along with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have the Let Girls Learn campaign to make it easier for girls to receive their education and reach their highest potential.

"This Is For My Girls" includes lyrics that promote girl power and unity. It is available for download on iTunes. All proceeds will go towards the Peace Corps for Let Girls Learn.
