Columbia Records and Madison Gate Records have released a brand new song “It’s On Again,” performed by Alicia Keys featuring Kendrick Lamar, heard on the highly anticipated The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The track was written exclusively for the film by Pharrell Williams, Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, and Top Dawg Entertainment recording artist Kendrick Lamar, and produced by Pharrell Williams. “It’s On Again” is available in the U.S. today. Speaking to Rolling Stone about creating the soundtrack and writing “It’s On Again,” Pharrell explains that he “had an idea, and lifted it to new heights.
I had a little dirt-hill idea and he’s turned it into a mountain. Alicia is singing and she did some co-writing on it too, and with Kendrick, it just feels like we might have our own little Mt. Rushmore here.” Zimmer further explains, “We were this pressure cooker.
Having all this talent in the room, there were ideas flying around all the time. They weren’t just about music. They were about story, they were about all sorts of things.”The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, April 22.
