This is the New Seekers' signature song, which was born from a Coca-Cola commercial and became a global hit.
This song was recorded as a full version of the Coca-Cola commercial song "Buy the World a Coke" without the product name, and the single features this song on side A and "Boom Town" on side B. It became a global hit, reaching number one in the UK and number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The song features a simple arrangement with a folk-pop-oriented sound centered around acoustic guitar and a mixed-gender chorus. Originally created as a commercial song, it features a catchy melody and a strong, peaceful message of "uniting the world." The catchy lyrics and chorus work, which are easy to sing along to for children and adults alike, were praised, and the single became a million-seller in various countries, becoming a standard that has been repeatedly quoted in commercials and covers in later years.
