George Harrison released this non-album single in mid-1971 to draw global attention to the refugee crisis in Bangladesh following the 1970 cyclone and liberation war. The song was inspired by Indian-Bengali musician Ravi Shankar's request for assistance. It became recognized as a significant musical statement on social issues and successfully promoted international awareness of Bangladeshi independence, with the UN later crediting it for personalizing the humanitarian crisis.
