Track Description
Available in:
"7 Seconds" is a song composed by Youssou N'Dour, Neneh Cherry, Cameron McVey and Jonathan Sharp. It was released in 1994 as a single performed by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry. It achieved much success, reaching the top chart position in numerous countries. It also won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song of 1994.

All instruments on the single were produced and arranged by Swedish music producer Christian Falk, who also played bass on the track. The song also appeared on N'Dour's album The Guide (Wommat), released shortly after the single. It was also included on Neneh Cherry's album Man (1996).

The song is trilingual as N'Dour sings in 3 languages: French, English and the West African language Wolof. Cherry sings only in English. The title and refrain of the song refers to the first moments of a child's life; as Cherry put it, "not knowing about the problems and violence in our world".

The black and white music video was directed by Stéphane Sednaoui. It features people of different ethnicities walking by while the two are singing. When they sing the chorus, different kinds of people's faces appear.
