Mandopop star Wang Leehom has released a new English-language song titled "Hope" in support of Singapore charity Epworth Community Services. The track premiered on Friday, July 31, 2026, at Epworth's "Where Hope Blooms" fundraising gala dinner held at One Farrer Hotel and is now available on major streaming platforms.

According to Epworth, this is the first time an international Mandopop artiste has released an English song in support of a Singapore social service agency. The song centers on themes of resilience and optimism, reflecting Epworth's work with vulnerable children, at-risk youths, and families.

Wang said, "Music has a way of reaching people across every circumstance and experience." He added, "With this song about hope, I want to honour the resilience of the children, at-risk youths, and families that Epworth walks alongside every day."

The collaboration with Singapore producer Goh Kheng Long, who has served as music director for Epworth's past three fundraising galas as a volunteer, grew out of a shared desire to support young people facing mental health and life challenges. Wang's work with Goh spans over 30 years, beginning with their first collaboration on the 1995 film "Love Rival Beethoven" when Wang was 19.

Highlighting the growing need for youth mental health support, Epworth executive director Tan Khye Suan stated that one in three young people in Singapore experiences mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression, while one in six exhibits behaviors including aggression and rule-breaking.

Tan expressed gratitude, saying, "We are deeply grateful to Leehom, Kheng Long, our partners, donors and volunteers for helping to bring hope and empower young lives to thrive."

Wang also shared, "I have always been passionate about causes related to empowering children and youths. I hope this song encourages children and youths who are facing difficult life challenges to not give up — there is always hope."
