Elton John<\/a> and Taron Egerton<\/a> unite on \u201c(I\u2019m Gonna) Love Me Again,\u201d a soulful new song John wrote with longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. The track appears in the closing credits to the upcoming John biopic, Rocketman<\/em><\/a>, and on the film\u2019s soundtrack.<\/p>\n

The uplifting duet, which follows Egerton\u2019s rendition of the movie\u2019s title track<\/a>, highlights the uncanny similarity between the singers\u2019 voices \u2014 fitting, as Egerton plays a young John in the biopic. \u201cI\u2019m gonna love me again, check in on my very best friend,\u201d the pair belt on the chorus over a Motown-styled groove.<\/p>\n

In Rocketman<\/em>, which hits theaters May 31st, Egerton portrays the acclaimed rock star during his rise to stardom. Rocketman: Music From the Motion Picture<\/em>, out May 24th, features the actor fronting producer\/composer Giles Martin\u2019s re-imagined versions of John songs, including hits like \u201cSaturday Night\u2019s Alright for Fighting,\u201d \u201cI Want Love,\u201d \u201cCrocodile Rock,\u201d \u201cTiny Dancer\u201d and \u201cYour Song.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c(I\u2019m Gonna) Love Me Again\u201d was written specifically for the film, with Giles Martin and Greg Kurstin credited as producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was so important that the music I composed and recorded had to be sung by Taron,\u201d John said in a recent statement. \u201cI wanted his interpretation of me, through Bernie\u2019s lyrics [and] my music \u2014 not just acting. I left Taron in the hands of Giles Martin, who I trusted implicitly because he\u2019s brilliant. I didn\u2019t want to be in Taron\u2019s shadows, watching over the process, I trusted them to do what they needed to do, artistically, and listening back I\u2019ve been astonished with the results. Getting the music right was the most important thing, as the songs in the film are integral to the story.\u201d<\/p>\n
