The 2010 version of “We Are the World” released under the name Artists for Haiti debuted on American TV channel NBC on February 12 during their coverage of the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Similar to marketing of “We Are The World”, a music video of the song was filmed and released. The music video was directed by, Paul Haggis, an Academy award-winning film director. Haggis said that he finished the video twelve hours early. The official video for the song was formatted similar to the original; the video opens with the songs title with the recording artists signatures surrounding it, as well as clips of the artists performing there parts in the recording studio and included archive footage of Michael Jackson performing his part of the song. The video was intercut with clips showing people in Haiti following the earthquake.
All proceeds from “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” will go to the newly formed charity We Are the World Foundation LLC, which will go straight to Haiti. “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” was released with two different lengths; 3 minutes 17 seconds and 7 minutes 37 seconds. In February 2010, Phillips said that physical products for the song are being looked into and negotiated. Negotiations include Target Corporation handling the physical products, ten days to two weeks after the digital release of the song. The song has been promoted under various titles and capitalization styles. The official web site refers to it as both “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” and the album cover artwork spells out “WE ARE THE WORLD 25 FOR HAITI.”
