All nine ambassadors appeared in ancient-hero costumes.[3]
The commercial's theme song, "Dare for More", was performed by the nine Pepsi stars, with lyrics by Albert Leung and music by Andrew Tuason. Before heading to Jordan, the artists recorded the song over 11 days in Hong Kong and Taiwan, with the rap section performed by Hanjin Tan.[4]
