Logic
A 45-minute version of Logic's "1-800" video exists. Director Andy Hines shot full dialogue scenes with the cast, which included Don Cheadle and Luis Guzmán. Cheadle was originally booked for a few hours but was so invested in the story that he stayed on set for three full days to see it through. The commitment from the cast and crew helped create a short film that had a real, life-saving impact. Logic was inspired to write the song after fans on tour told him his music saved their lives. He wanted to provide a direct resource for those who were struggling. The featured artists play specific roles in the song's narrative. Alessia Cara sings from the perspective of the lifeline operator, while Khalid's part represents the caller after finding hope. The song's impact was scientifically documented. A study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found a nearly 6% reduction in suicides among 10-19 year olds in the U.S. in the months following the song's release.
