As Orlando continues to recover from the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, celebrities have rallied around the victims and their families. Lady Gaga delivered a tearful speech at a vigil for the victims, while Beyoncé dedicated a performance of “Halo” to them. Broadway stars also recorded a cover of “What the World Needs Now is Love” to raise money for the L.G.B.T. community. Now Christina Aguilera has made her own contribution by dedicating a new song called “Change” to the victims.

In the song—a slow, solemn number—Aguilera captures the heartbreak and frustration many have been feeling in the wake of the tragedy. Her signature belt gets put to good use on the chorus:

Waiting for a change to set us free
Waiting for the day when you can be you and I can be me
Waiting for hope to come around
Waiting for the day when hate is lost and love is found
Waiting for a change, waiting for a change

The song is available on iTunes, and according to Aguilera’s Web site, 100 percent of the proceeds from the song will go to the National Compassion Fund.
