Michelle Obama recruits Missy Elliott, Kelly Clarkson and more for 'This Is for My Girls'

Michelle Obama has a new anthem.

Ahead of her appearance at SXSW, the First Lady has recruited the likes of Missy Elliott, Kelly Rowland and Kelly Clarkson for a girl-power song called "This Is For My Girls."  

Inspired by the First Lady's Girls Learn initiative, which aims to help "more than 62 million girls around the world" to stay in school, the track also features Zendaya, Janelle Monae, Jada Grace, and Chloe & Halle. 

The song dropped on radio on Tuesday, and will be available for purchase on iTunes at midnight. All proceeds will benefit the Peace Corps Let Girls Learn Fund.

The song was written by Oscar nominee Diane Warren and executive produced by AOL MAKERS.

The new song comes just a day before the First Lady takes the stage in Austin, Texas, for her SXSW Music keynote, where she'll be joined by Elliott, Warren, and actress Sophia Bush in a panel moderated by Queen Latifah. You can livestream the event, which starts at 11 a.m. CT/noon ET, at sxsw.com/live and via AOL’s Makers.
