Teen Cancer America was founded by British rock band Who's Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend.
After over a decade working with Teenage Cancer Trust in the UK, the duo foundedTeen Cancer America in 2012 to make a difference in the lives of teens and young adults with cancer in the United States.- John Oates said of the song, “'Get Your Smile On' was yet another song that I wrote during the Pandemic. When I was trying my best to search for any positive vibe I could come up with.. since I had a lot of time on my hands, I began to write using GarageBand on my Mac. It's usually how I start my song 'Sketches' But it began to come together so well, I decided to really produce the track the way I would have in a professional, recording studio. I played all the instruments, programmed the keyboards and sang all the vocals as well. This is the first time I'm releasing a pure GarageBand production. I'm happy the way it came out and I hope it puts a smile on your face when you hear it.”
