With the hypnotic pull of a single piano note and ambient textures swirling like rising mist, DeDe Lopez draws us into her stunning track “Universal Law” — an electrifying anthem of self-empowerment featured on The Compassion Project: Songs for Animal, Human, and Earth Justice. It’s a song about truth, vision, and stepping fully into your power — all while keeping your feet moving on the dancefloor.
DeDe enters with crystal-clear vocals, singing:
“There is a power within you waiting to be free… just believe it.”
Her voice is both grounded and ethereal — deeply human yet spiritually elevated. The song gradually builds with syncopated percussion that creates a dynamic groove, giving the track a pulse that’s both meditative and energizing. As the instrumentation blooms, the song shifts into full EDM territory, and the chorus bursts forth like a sunrise:
“There is a universal law to be our guide.”
Here, DeDe’s vocals soar. With pitch-perfect delivery, rich tone, and an effortless range, she lifts the listener into a space of joy and transcendence. There’s a celebratory quality to the chorus — not just of who we are, but who we’re becoming. This is empowerment set to rhythm. A guided journey to personal truth, lit by DeDe’s radiant voice.
And yet, amidst the uplifting beats and catchy hooks, “Universal Law” holds space for reflection. Its message — of believing in your own strength, trusting your heart, and living with integrity — aligns seamlessly with the core of The Compassion Project. While other tracks on the album focus on outward justice for animals and the planet, Lopez reminds us that compassion must also begin within. Self-love, after all, is the root of all other forms of love.
Written and produced by DeDe Lopez and Ceder Music, the track blends global pop appeal with spiritual depth. And with a career spanning major international stages, chart-topping hits, and collaborations with legends like Max Martin and MC Lyte, DeDe continues to prove that powerful music can be both personal and universal.
