The movie mogul launched the #Hesgotthewholeworldchallenge on Instagram with a new video. At the beginning of the 8 minutes 15 seconds clip, Perry called on musicians to add to the song he was about to sing.

The "Madea" creator then belted out the lyrics to the song "He's Got the Whole World." The video went on to show other people taking up the song in different tones and keys. In the accompanying caption, Perry shared why he started the challenge, writing,

"It's my hope that we add to this simple song in every language from every nation as we let it become a prayer for our whole world."
