Al-Arabiya reported that Shakira, who is of Lebanese and European descent, is penning the English lyrics, while Egyptian composer Mohamed Saad is writing the Arabic portion of the song, as well as the music.
A U.S. director is expected to film a music video for the song, which is being created to encourage tolerance and peace.
The video is to be shot in the United Arab Emirates and is expected to premiere before the end of the year, al-Arabiya said.
