U2, the Irish rock band, released the song 'Walk On' as part of their tenth studio album, 'All That You Can't Leave Behind'. The song serves as a tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi, a prominent political figure and human rights activist from Myanmar. The lyrics reflect themes of hope and resilience, drawing attention to her struggle for democracy and freedom in her home country. The song gained significant recognition and was later issued as a single. In the official music video, lead singer Bono prominently wore a t-shirt featuring Aung San Suu Kyi's image and name, further emphasizing the band's support for her cause. This visual representation helped to raise awareness about her situation and the broader issues of political oppression and human rights violations in Myanmar.
