The track has recently been nominated for a Golden Globe, and the band deemed it appropriate to release Paul Epworth's version of the track. Epworth has worked with acts such as Florence & the Machine, Adele, Friendly Fires and Bloc Party to name a few, and the band felt it was time to display this version.
'We think Paul Epworth's mix is a very soulful, uplifting one and we hope our audience will agree,' says Bono. 'Nelson Mandela's life and times meant more to me than I can ever tell you, I would need a hundred songs to do that… but this complicated little love song to Winnie and South Africa is the one that landed on our lap.'
