A ten-year-old boy released an anti-bullying song after winning a competition. The heartwarming song quickly climbed to the top of the iTunes charts – even before superstar Ed Sheeran.

After ten-year-old Bertie Caplan won a songwriting competition at his school, he was allowed to write and record a song with producer Perrie Young. He developed the core of “No More” in about half an hour together with the professional, as the British “Express” reports. In the meantime, the song has climbed to the top of the British iTunes charts – even before the superstars Ed Sheeran and Sam Fender.

At the top of the iTunes charts

“No More” was recorded in September and released during UK Anti-Bullying Week. Bertie wants to use his song to help other children who have fallen victim to bullying. “I believe that everyone should have a voice, regardless of who they are or where they come from,” the boy is quoted in the Herfortshire Mercury. Children need to talk about their problems and know how to ask for help.
