New Beijing Winter Olympics Theme Song Has No Chill

Actor, dancer, and singer Jackson Yee (of TFBoys fame) is featured in a new music video promoting the motto for the upcoming Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games: “Together for a Shared Future.” The video officially dropped on Monday.

The upbeat song guides viewers through footage of smiling faces, high-fives, hand-holding, and a ton of winter sports action (as you’d expect).

There are scenes of children playing ice hockey, curling, figure skating, and Jackson Yee singing and dancing with a troupe of small kids.

Beijing’s 2020 Winter Olympic mascots, Bing Dwen Dwen (a giant panda) and Shuey Rhon Rhon (an anthropomorphic Chinese lantern), also appear in the music video, along with the designers of Team China’s Olympic uniforms.

Frankly, we don’t know what to make of the song, so we’ll refrain from passing judgment. But we’ve posted the video below so you can make up your own damn mind:

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will kick off on February 4, 2022, and run until the 20th.
