In an extended conversation with Dave Fanning of Ireland's 2FM, Edge dropped in that producer Swizz had called up.

'He and Jay-Z wanted to do something for Haiti. So Bono came up with the phrase on the phone and last night we were here, we wrote a song, finished, recorded, and sent it back to them.... so that might be the next thing you hear from us.'

Also worth a listen to hear Edge discuss plans for the next leg of the tour, the Glastonbury show and songs the band are writing.
