Derbyshire Mind, men’s mental health group ManClub and South Derbyshire MP Samantha Niblett are among those supporting the campaign to get the song – originally released in 2024 – up the Christmas charts.
The track includes Melbourne Town Band and a choir made up of students from Castle Gresley-based Vocal Zone Voice Studio.
Andrew Horth said: “I bumped into Samantha [Niblett] at a festival a few months ago by chance.
“She jokingly said ‘how do we get this to Christmas number 1?’.
“It started a conversation. She said we could do it for charity and raise money for men’s mental health. I know she’d been aware of several male suicides in her constituency.
“So I was like, yes, let’s do it. That was only in November. So it’s been a quick turnaround.
“I didn’t know Mikey personally but I was aware of the outpouring of grief on social media for him.
“It seemed like a good thing to do to re-release this song for this cause.
“It’s an uplifting song tinged with melancholy, about maximising the limited time we have with loved ones we only see during the holidays.
“Christmas can be an especially tough time if you’re struggling with your mental health.
“We want to make a dent in the charts. We need a lot of streams – downloads are even better.”
