Logic’s Hit ‘1-800-273-8255’ Helped Save Hundreds Of Lives

Logic’s suicide prevention hit, “1-800-273-8255” which was released back in 2017 has reported saved hundreds of lives. According to an analysis released by the BMJ, the suicide prevention hotline, which is also the title of the hit, received nearly 10,000 calls and resulted in a 5.5 percent drop in suicide rates in youth (between ages 10 and 19 years old). The results were achieved throughout three different time periods. These periods include the month after the song’s release, Logic’s MTV Awards performance, and after his Grammy Awards set in 2018.

Logic stated: “To know that my music was actually affecting people’s lives, truly, that’s what inspired me to make the song. We did it from a really warm place in our hearts to try to help people. And the fact that it actually did, blows my mind…The thing about it, though, is that I never made my music to inspire anyone but myself. I made my music to pull myself out of a dark place. Every lyric I ever wrote, I was always talking to an audience of one.”
