“American Soul”, the third single from the fourteenth U2 album Songs of Experience, following “You’re the Best Thing About Me”, “Get Out of Your Own Way”, and the free live-version release of “The Blackout” to fans.

Early work on this song provided a musical contribution to “XXX.”, a previous collaboration between the Irish band and Kendrick Lamar in the album DAMN.

Bono, in the final part of the song, dives into a politically-driven bridge touching the themes of unity, hope and faith and culminating with him saying:

Let it be unity, let it be community
For refugees like you and me
A country to receive us
Will you be our sanctuary

It’s not the first time the Irish singer gets involved in the refugee topic, with him writing an editorial on the New York Times in April 2016 and speaking at the US Congress.
