Something new is happening around the UAE National Anthem, and it is open to anyone with a voice or a sound.
MusicNation has put out a public call for artists to record their own version of the anthem, inviting singers, rappers, instrumentalists, and producers to take part. Selected submissions will be included in a final track, with an official video produced by Beautiful Destinations.
The idea is simple. Record your version, upload it, and become part of a national music project.
MusicNation Opens The Door To Public Submissions
MusicNation is leading the campaign and asking creators to take the UAE National Anthem in their own direction while keeping its identity intact.
Participants are asked to submit recordings through a form linked in the campaign post. The process includes entering personal details and uploading an audio file. The campaign clearly states that AI-generated submissions are not accepted.
MusicNation is not a random name in the space. It is the UAE’s first collective management organization, officially approved by the Ministry of Economy. Its role centers on protecting and managing rights for artists, songwriters, and performers in the country.
This campaign adds a public-facing moment to that work, putting artists directly into a national project.
A Familiar Format With A New Creative Layer
This type of open invitation connects with earlier national efforts tied to the anthem.
In previous initiatives, residents from different backgrounds were invited to submit their own recordings of the UAE National Anthem. Selected entries were featured in official productions, giving the public a visible role in how the anthem is presented.
The current campaign follows that direction while leaning into a wider mix of genres and styles. The call is not limited to traditional vocals. It includes rap, production, and instrumental interpretations, which opens the door to a broader creative scene.
The Anthem At The Center Of The Project
The UAE National Anthem, known as “Ishy Bilady,” has been part of the country’s identity since 1971, with lyrics added in 1986.
This campaign keeps that foundation in place while inviting artists to reinterpret it through their own sound. The goal is a collective version made up of multiple voices and styles.
MusicNation describes the project as a tribute that highlights unity and expression through music, with selected artists featured in the final release.
What Happens Next
Submissions are currently open, and participants can upload their recordings through the official link provided by MusicNation.
Artists who are selected will become part of the final anthem track and appear in the official video produced by Beautiful Destinations.
There is no confirmed timeline yet for when the final version will be released.
The UAE National Anthem is getting a new creative moment, this time shaped by the public.
With MusicNation behind the campaign and a clear path for submissions, the project puts artists directly into the process. From vocals to production, every entry adds a different take on a familiar piece of music.
For anyone who has ever wanted their sound tied to something bigger, this is the kind of opportunity that does not show up often.
