It’s been announced that the soundtrack for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will feature a brand-new track by Alicia Keys.

Written exclusively for the film, It’s On Again features Kendrick Lamar alongside Keys. The pair co-wrote the song with Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer.

The track will feature on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack which will be released by Columbia Records and Madison Gate Records.

Marc Webb, the film’s director, said, “We were looking for just the right song to close out the film – a song that would be upbeat and exciting, but also contain a note of foreboding.  Alicia’s song, ‘It’s On Again,’ is the perfect end note. 

“For the overall score, I’m so amazed by what Hans Zimmer and the Magnificent Six were able to achieve with the music in the film.  Every director wants his movie to have a unique sound, but this is beyond unique.  It’s completely unlike any movie score that’s come before.”
 
Keys added, “I’m very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer.

“This is the next chapter in the Spider-Man legacy and we really feel ‘It’s On Again’ captures the experience, the story—and most importantly—the meaning behind the film, which is that we all have the potential to be extraordinary. There’s a little bit of a Super Hero in all of us.”
 
Zimmer said, “When we came together to form a band to create the music of this film, we did the opposite of what composers usually do – we wrote songs, and from the songs came the themes.  We embraced a rock-and-roll ethos on this movie, and it paid off.”
 
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits cinemas on April 18th.
