The refugee crisis is very urgent in terms of the number of vulnerable people who are affected on a daily basis. As a band we wanted to participate and we decided to partner with SAP and Apple, said Dan Reynolds lead singer of Imagine Dragons. "'I Was Me" is a song about getting your life back, which is exactly what millions of people are going through right now.

Imagine Dragons is a alternative rock group from Las Vegas that is characterized by its ability to create elegant epic songs, perfect for singing in stadiums, as contagious as they are emotional. In 2012 the band caused a sensation with their first album Night Vision, which debuted directly on the second place in the ranking of best-selling albums thanks to the overwhelming success of the single "Radioactive". The successor Smoke + Mirrors would fare better still: preceded by the singles "I Bet My Life" and "Shots", as soon as it was released it reached number one. first place.
