Hakuna matata because Beyonc\u00e9<\/a><\/strong> has gifted us with a new, uplifting anthem.<\/p>\n

To coincide with the world premiere of The Lion King<\/em><\/a>, Queen Bey\u2014who voices Nala<\/a> in the Disney flick\u2014dropped her original song “Spirit” late last night<\/a>. And, needless to say, this empowering track will help and encourage you to overcome just about anything. You know, in case your uncle overthrows the empire<\/a> and you’re exiled to the jungle<\/a> with a meerkat and warthog. The usual stuff, right?<\/p>\n

“The waters crashing \/ trying to keep your head up high \/ while you’re trembling, that’s when the magic happens,” the superstar belts out on the nearly five-minute song. “And the stars gather by, by your side \/ saying rise up to the light in the sky, yeah \/ let the light lift your heart up \/ burn your flame through the night.”<\/p>\n

“Spirit” is the first full single to be released from the movie’s upcoming soundtrack<\/a>, The Lion King: The Gift<\/em>, which Beyonc\u00e9 herself is producing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

But, luckily for us, it’s not the only song she lends her voice to for the film. The “Formation” singer is also joined by castmate Donald Glover<\/a><\/strong>\u2014he voices Simba\u2014on the classic, award-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight<\/a>,” sung by Elton John<\/a><\/strong>in the original movie<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“This is the culmination for them of so many years of hard work trying to get to our level,” co-star Billy Eichner<\/strong> joked about the duo in a joint Variety<\/em> interview<\/a> with Seth Rogen<\/a><\/strong>. “It’s really gratifying that we’ve been able to give them this opportunity.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
