The release of “Change the World”: a key moment for HEARTWISH
Amid an increasingly troubled global context, Swiss melodic rock band HEARTWISH unveils their new single “Change the World”, a vibrant, emotional, and socially conscious song that reaffirms the band’s sonic identity while calling for collective awareness, respect for humanity, and the urgent need to protect our planet.
Officially released in June 2025, this new single marks a pivotal moment in the band’s artistic journey, reinforcing their musical vision and values through a piece that combines driving riffs, polished production, and a clear message: it’s time to change the world before it’s too late.
A project rooted in classic sounds with a modern vision
HEARTWISH was formed in 2020 through the merging of two Swiss projects, Signus and Rick Taylor. From the start, the band projected a strong identity grounded in classic rock traditions, but with a modern edge. Their sound, inspired by legends such as Journey, Boston, and Foreigner, stands out for its emotional depth, instrumental power, and perfectly cohesive arrangements.
Founded by composer Jürg Weibel and vocalist Ricardo Iglesias, HEARTWISH quickly earned the hearts of rock fans worldwide. The duo’s creative energy is elevated by the presence of renowned Swiss producer Urs Wiesendanger (Snoop Dogg, Patricia Kaas, DJ Bobo), who shapes the band’s recordings at the legendary Powerplay Studios, also contributing the signature backing vocals that have become a distinctive part of the HEARTWISH sound.
From the success of “These Are The Days” to a strong debut album
The release of “These Are The Days” marked a turning point for HEARTWISH. The song became an instant classic, receiving airplay on both Swiss and international rock stations, and placing the band firmly on the radar of melodic rock listeners around the globe.
This success paved the way for the band’s long-awaited debut album, also titled “These Are The Days”, which was successfully released in early 2025. The album solidified the band’s musical identity and marked the beginning of their growing international presence, especially in the United States and Brazil, where an official fan club has already been established.
“Change the World”: a song with a universal and urgent message
With “Change the World,” HEARTWISH not only delivers a powerful and emotive rock track but also embraces a message that transcends music. According to Jürg Weibel, the song emerges from deep concern over the state of the world:
“We live in an increasingly crazy world where humanity is getting lost and greed and government power dominate with no regard for human destiny. Lies and fake news are massively spread and have become part of the daily agenda. Senseless wars and destruction define the global landscape and are rapidly driving Earth to the brink.”
The song seeks to awaken minds and ignite hope:
“With ‘Change the World’, we want to send a message very close to our hearts. We must pull ourselves together, use our positive energy and achievements to drive humanity forward, and do everything we can to make Earth a place worth living in—for ourselves, our children, and future generations. It is our home and the place that makes life possible!”.
Editorial opinion from Indie Valley Music: a high-level melodic rock production with emotional depth
From a professional standpoint, “Change the World” stands out for both its technical strength and emotional impact. In this editorial opinion from Indie Valley Music, the track dives confidently into the world of melodic hard rock, channeling the spirit of the ’80s while delivering a modern, fresh production.
The song features a cohesive and dynamic musical structure, with a memorable chorus that invites collective singing. The guitar riffs are sharp and assertive; the drums are energetic and precise; and the vocals are powerful and emotive, adding a deep expressive layer that brings the message to life.
The production is impeccable, with professional mixing and mastering that allow each instrument to shine without overpowering the others. The sound spectrum is finely balanced across low, mid, and high frequencies, with a wide dynamic range that adds richness and movement to the track.
A confident step onto the international rock stage
With the release of “Change the World,” HEARTWISH solidifies its place in the new wave of international melodic rock. The band offers a bold and sincere proposal that blends musicianship, artistic integrity, and a powerful sense of purpose.
More than just a single, “Change the World” is a statement of intent, an invitation to reflect and take action, and a clear reminder that music still has the power to spark change—starting from within.
