For a noble cause, Blake Shelton contributes his strong vocals to a Tom Petty classic in a new video highlighting the Miraculous Love Kids, Afghanistan’s only music school.

This benefit version of “I Won’t Back Down” also features several Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, like guitarist Joe Walsh, bassist Timothy B. Schmidt, and drummer Matt Sorum from Guns N’ Roses.

“I Won’t Back Down” has been a fan-favorite anthem of defiance and independence since its 1989 release. However, when Lanny Cordola, the American founder and director of the Miraculous Love Kids, began working with women and girls facing oppression in their home country, the song took on a powerful meaning.

Cordola explains in a press release. “It’s not only for the girls and women of Afghanistan, but for all oppressed people of the world. As Tom Petty so powerfully wrote, ‘You can stand me up at the gates of hell but I won’t back down …'”
