On November 25, 2015, Conan Gray uploaded a cover of Blackbird by The Beatles to YouTube.

Conan wrote in the description of the video that the attack in Paris inspired him to post this cover:

I was going to film another silly video this weekend, like planned, but when I heard of all that happened in Paris and all over the world I couldn’t. I’ve been learning this song for a while, and I thought this weekend would be a good time to sing it for you guys. Such a beautiful song of not only sadness, but hope. Hope that those who fall can fly again. Paris, you are in my prayers. My heart goes out to all effected, that you guys will be safe.
