Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato 'Make a Wave' for Friends for Change

Say what you want about the tween pop icons Disney continues to churn out of their music/acting factory, but they do know how to give back. The latest in this long line of Disney phenoms' charity work comes from Joe Jonas (the "cute one," if you're only peripherally familiar with the Jonas Brothers) and Demi Lovato (of Camp Rock, Sony With a Chance and singing fame). The duo recorded a new single entitled "Make a Wave" as part of Disney's Friends for Change: Project Green.

With lyrics like "just a pebble in the water can set the sea in motion, a simple act of kindness can stir the deepest ocean," Disney hopes "Make a Wave" will be a new eco-anthem to save the planet's oceans. In a behind-the-scenes interview, Jonas told E! News, "The song is about how kids, families ... [should] do what they can to protect the ocean. It's part of Friends for Change, which is a charity and a part of Disney." The project has had an impact on Lovato's personal life that she hopes will inspire fans: "It's started out as not drinking as many water bottles; it turned to continued to getting a filter in my house — it's the little things that are going to make a difference."

Lovato and Jonas premiered the single in a live performance last week at EPCOT Center, and it will premiere on Disney's radio station on February 26. On March 14, the video and single will go on sale on Apple's iTunes store, and all proceeds will benefit environmental charities through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund.
