ZILLIONS 12/4/25 *** Chris Oledude unveils “We Will Get Through This” a timely beacon of love, hope, and human resilience: Chris Oledude's new single, "We Will Get Through This,"... is full of memories, shows off his refined artistry, and captures the emotional weight of what we're going through right now.
Oledude gets a lot of his ideas from the music that shaped him, like simple songs from his childhood, calming folk melodies, Broadway-inspired emotions, and the timeless quality of famous pop duets like those of Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. The result looks like something you've seen before, but it's still very different. You can hear the song without turning up the volume because it is so subtle. It makes its point clearly, easily, and with a goal in mind.
The music sounds better because of where it came from. Oledude worked for a small non-profit that helps people with mental health and substance abuse problems for a year in the summer of 2023, remembering the dedication there and how much it was needed. After finishing the assignment in August 2024, the song became a moving tribute to the Philipstown Behavioral Health Hub in Cold Spring, NY, where it was first sung.
What began as a tribute soon became more important. The song's message of unconditional love and compassion has gotten stronger since the 2024 election and the chaos that followed. "We Will Get Through This" explores the quiet, unyielding strength that people who help those who are mentally or emotionally troubled need. This is happening more and more.
