"Dare to Be Square" is a song written and recorded by Australian artist Guy Sebastian. It was recorded to raise awareness for Nickelodeon's anti-bullying campaign with all money raised going towards Kids Helpline.^[3]

The single was at the forefront of Nickelodeon's "Dare to Be Square" campaign, which encourages children to say no to bullying and embrace their individuality.^[4]

Background

Figures released by the Kids Helpline reveal mental health issues are increasingly worrying Australian children and Australia-wide, people aged 5 to 25 were more likely to be concerned with family relationships, physical and mental health concerns than before.^[5]

It was announced in August 2013 that Guy Sebastian, who had recently quit his judging role on The X Factor, had penned a new tune to support Nickelodeon's anti-bullying campaign, titled "Dare to Be Square!"^[6] Sebastian was prompted to write the tune after his 17-month-old son was punched by a bigger child during a park outing.^[7]

"I didn't suffer from bullying when I was a kid but I think about it a lot now because of Hudson," Sebastian said.^[8]
