Miist has turned her audience into collaborators. The Billboard-charting singer-songwriter has released “Love Will Show Us Our Way,” a new single and music video built entirely from fan-submitted footage capturing everyday acts of kindness. Clips arrived from multiple continents and cultures, forming the visual backbone of the video while Miist kept her own presence minimal, letting the contributions speak for themselves.
The release marks the launch of The Love Project, her 2026 creative initiative centered on human connection through small, deliberate gestures. The song was co-written with Mauro Malavasi, the Italian composer and producer whose work with Andrea Bocelli helped define modern classical crossover. That pedigree comes through. The track carries genuine emotional weight, warm and reflective without leaning into sentiment.
The Love Project builds directly on the momentum of Miist’s 2025 Smile Project, which began with “Could You Lend Me a Smile,” inspired by a real-life tragedy involving a young man in Tokyo who died alone. That song eventually appeared in 16 language versions, involved artists connected to more than 60 GRAMMY wins and nominations, generated millions of views, and earned several world records.
Throughout 2026, Miist plans to release additional songs exploring courage, forgiveness, gratitude, and resilience. Her work extends well beyond the studio. She hosts Make Me Smile with Miist, a podcast ranking among the Top 10 mental health podcasts in the United States, and founded the nonprofit World Smile Initiative, which develops tools to address loneliness and social isolation, including the Kindness Kube, a prompt device encouraging daily expressions of gratitude.
