“We couldn’t reach Zac until late but when we did, he immediately jumped in,” Ortega was quoted as saying. “Everyone we reached out to was quick — and you’ll see it in their spirit and the way they come together from their homes. They recognize this is an opportunity to strengthen spirits for those joining us for the broadcast.”

Ortega also acknowledged how “We’re All In This Together” has apparently been transformed into a motto during the COVID-19 pandemic. The director recalled hearing people chanting the phrase. He also mentioned watching several videos of medical workers singing the song at the hospitals.

Aside from health workers, countless people from all over the world have also filmed themselves singing the popular song to show their solidarity and support. Ortega believed that Tisdale, who recorded herself dancing to the Disney song at home, began the whole movement.
