To raise money for earthquake victims, a new celebrity version of "We Are the World" was recorded on February 1, 2010, and released on February 12, 2010. Over 75 musicians were involved in the remake, which was recorded in the same studio as the 1985 original.<ref name="Stars gather for 'We Are the World' recording" /> The new version features revised lyrics as well as a rap part pertaining to Haiti.<ref name="Stars gather for 'We Are the World' recording">{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Music/02/01/haiti.we.are.the.world/?hpt=Sbin|title=Stars gather for 'We Are the World' recording|last=Duke|first=Alan|date=February 2, 2010|publisher=CNN|access-date=February 2, 2010}}</ref><ref name="New voices unite for 'We Are the World'">{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2010-02-02-we-are-world-main_N.htm|title=New voices unite for 'We Are the World'|last=Gunderson|first=Edna|date=February 2, 2010|newspaper=USA Today|access-date=February 3, 2010}}</ref> Michael Jackson's younger sister [[Janet Jackson|Janet]] duets with her late brother on the track, as per a request from their mother [[Katherine Jackson|Katherine]].

On February 20, 2010, a non-celebrity remake, "[[We Are the World 25 for Haiti (YouTube edition)]]", was posted to the video sharing website YouTube. [[List of YouTube personalities|Internet personality]] and singer-songwriter [[Lisa Lavie]] conceived and organized the Internet collaboration of 57 [[unsigned artist|unsigned]] or [[independent record label|independent]] YouTube musicians geographically distributed around the world. Lavie's 2010 YouTube version, a cover of the 1985 original, excludes the rap segment and minimizes the [[Auto-tune]] that characterizes the 2010 celebrity remake.<ref name="CNNrefs">Josh Levs, CNN, [http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2010/03/06/nr.levs.youtube.for.haiti.cnn "YouTube Singers Rock for Haiti"] (March 6, 2010); Josh Levs, CNN, [http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2010/03/07/levs.youtubers.haiti.cnn "YouTubers do 'We Are the World'"] (March 7, 2010); Rosemary Church, CNN International, [http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2010/03/20/church.youtube.world.cnn "We Are the World, part two"], (March 20, 2010).
