Tyler is now using the song to help unite the world and spread hope. 

"How about a little something to make us all feel a little bit better. I'm gonna start this song and I want all of you to add to it. All the musicians out there, all the singers out there, change the key, take it up," he said in an Instagram video. 

The challenge comes as the world is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
