LeAnn Rimes’ new song, “Give,” is from her upcoming album, Lady & Gentlemen, to be released Sept. 27. Recently, a powerful and moving video for the inspirational song was released.
 
 "'Give' is a song with a message about how if we want love, kindness and happiness in our lives, then we need to give some of that back," LeAnn says. "I believe that message needs to be shared with the world."
 
To LeAnn, the importance of the video was to raise awareness of an issue that she finds imperative – homeless teens across America. She partnered with StandUp For Kids for the video, Their mission is to help children who are homeless and on the street. The video shows several teens participating from Chicago’s own StandUp for Kids program.
 
Approximately 13 homeless children die on the street every day. In Chicago, there are about 25,000 homeless youth.
 
"My life is forever changed from this experience," shares LeAnn. "One thing they all said to me is no one looks them in the eye when they see them on the streets, so there's a deep loneliness there and a feeling of almost not existing. I will now always look anyone who's homeless in the eye and smile. That smile could make their whole day."
