Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has invited Broadway star Carrie Manolakos to perform at the MAHA Inaugural Ball on Monday, January 20, 2025 - hours after President Donald J. Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. Carrie will perform a newly written song, "All Eyes On Us."
In a time when division often overshadows dialogue, Broadway star Carrie Manolakos and Grammy-nominated songwriter Jamie Floyd are calling Americans together with a powerful new anthem, "All Eyes on Us."
Carrie will debut the song on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025 during a live performance at the MAHA Inaugural Ball. This will be first public performance of this soul-stirring piece written by Floyd and Manolakos.
“To be able to step forward and serve as an artist and voice during this monumental moment in history, and to share this message of love, hope, and common ground with my fellow Americans is one of the greatest honors of my lifetime,” said Carrie Manolakos." Jamie and I wrote ‘All Eyes on Us’ with the hope of fostering a unified America, by asking honest questions from a gentle and heart-centered place. I am thrilled to be performing it for the first time for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and all those in attendance at the MAHA Inaugural Ball.”
The lyrics of “All Eyes on Us” resonate with a call to action and a plea for unity:
"America, I believe in you,
America, we can start brand new.
America, your heart knows how.
America, we are ready now…"
In a joint statement, Carrie and Jamie shared: “The driving force behind the creation of "All Eyes On Us"—as well as Carrie’s live performance and upcoming release of the song on January 20th—comes from our enduring commitment to people. We believe strongly in the restorative power that emerges from our relationship to our neighbors.”
Jamie Floyd reflected on the collaborative process and this moment in history saying: “It was such an emotional and intentional process to write this song with my dear friend, Carrie Manolakos. I am overwhelmed and honored for it to be a part of this moment in history when Carrie sings it live for the first time for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and all in attendance at the MAHA Inaugural Ball. I am deeply grateful to put forth this message of tenderness, love, and support for all my fellow Americans as we enter this new chapter.”
“All Eyes on Us” isn’t just a song—it’s a call to action for unity, love, and healing. Carrie and Jamie invite Americans to embrace the hope and possibility of a brighter future.
The song will be available on all streaming services on Monday, January 20, 2025.
