Touching on how humanity has a common root, the chorus sees Shameem sing, 'everyone's dreaming under one sun'. "This is a theme that's very close to my heart, and it shows in my other songs too, such as "
Beautiful Soul", which is about how children are exposed to and taught prejudice by the example of adults," explains Shameem. "I think music is a very powerful medium for spreading ideas, and I want my music to get people thinking about how they live their lives and how they can contribute to making the world a better place."

George Benson,
Ronan Keating and
Belinda Carlisle and has undertaken headlining tours in both her native Australia and in the USA and Canada.
