The song United has today launched, paying tribute to the rich uniqueness of the seven United Arab Emirates this UAE National Day. The song’s evocative narrative is composed by Ella Spira and DB Gad and featuring vocals of Shamma Hamdan, Don Abdullah (Abdullah Andeezn), Maydan Hamza and DB Gad.

Inspired by the travels of local production company Sisters Grimm founders Pietra Mello-Pittman and Ella Spira, the song and music video showcase their artistic narrative on all that the UAE has to offer.

Through their cultural exploration, Ella and Pietra share their personal discoveries, unearthing places which they feel truly represent the region and show people the rich, captivating and nuanced history of the UAE through a celebratory video to mark the 49th National Day celebrations.
