Keke Palmer has a significant message and she's singing it in her most recent tune.

The star, 27, delivered her new melody "Actually Vote" on Thursday encouraging Americans to present their polling forms as expected for the 2020 official political race — Election Day is Nov. 3.

"The most recent four years have been progressively overpowering for our country," the entertainer tells PEOPLE. "It's made, I accept, a sentiment of unresponsiveness that is hazardous to our feeling of majority rules system as a general public."

She adds: "I think it's so important that we get a hold of what's ours and get excited about using our voices. So many of my peers and I have been made to feel like our voices are not valid. I know that's part of the game and I have fought to make myself aware that my voice does matter. All of our voices matter so significantly. I want my peers to know and understand."

"We must make voting an engaging tradition for all [including] Black [people], women, LGBTQ+, our immigrants [and] everyone," relayed Palmer. "Together, we can make it trendy to vote and make each of our important voices heard."

Palmer gives recognition to World War II symbol Rosie the Riveter all through the upbeat music video delivered by Broad City's Ilana Glazer for Generator Collective.

The melody's verses are as important as its title.

"There's a little something happening on Nov. 3 / Everybody's posting / All political and woken / On your social / So outspoken / That's sweet, but that tweet doesn't do enough for me," Palmer sings in her source of inspiration tune.

"Young people like to talk that big talk / Young people are the biggest voting block / You can only make a change if you check that damn box," she goes on energetically.

Palmer further sings: "Just show up and you're gonna be the GOAT (greatest of all time) if you actually vote / Don't just stand on the sideline /  Shoot your shot and beat the buzzer."

The video for the pop-nation bop highlights visitor stars Julianne Moore, Bella Thorne and Julia Louis-Dreyfus who seem strong of the songstress and totally over "that clown politician running his mouth on my damn television."

Palmer helps watchers to remember one more thing as the video closes: "At this point, don't mail [your ballot], drop it off or vote in person."
