HEARTWISH RELEASES “CHANGE THE WORLD”: A POWERFUL CALL FOR HOPE THROUGH MELODIC ROCK

The Swiss band makes a bold statement in 2025 with the release of a new single that blends the power of hard rock with a deeply human and urgent message for the world


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!”.

Jürg Weibel.
