However, after the tragic death of Avicii, Hardwell decided to take some time off performing, for personal reasons.

Guestlist4Good debuted the Anthem4Good in front of 64,200 fans in Mumbai, at the World’s Biggest Guestlist Festival, Dec 2, 2018. The song was fully time-coded in the closing ceremony of the festival, with 360 degree special effects, pyros and fireworks. That night, the love and connectedness in the stadium was tangible and electrifying.
The original version released in 2019 and was shared on CNN, Times Now, the Kapil Sharma Show (SONY), Dance India Dance (ZEE) and more.

The music video for the 2.0 anthem4good was written and directed by Shailendra Singh, to amplify the message of ‘peace, love and unity’ – something that Shailendra believes should our focus of the future. The video urges us all to remember that we are one large family of humanity; that we have far more similarities than differences. If we can overcome the division that religion, economics, caste and creed continue to cause, we can make space to care and love each other, bringing more joy and happiness to the world.
The Anthem4Good releases were accompanied by pan-India, One India My India road rallies to bring the anthems to the people.
