Spirit, which Bey co-wrote along with IIya Salmanzadeh and Timothy McKenzie, is an original composition that features on her album as well as the movies soundtrack.

Yes Bey, and downloading Spirit and listening to it a thousand times is really important to us.
The track, which was released on Beyonce.com, features the lyrics: Saying rise up to the light in the sky, yeah. Watch the light lift your heart up. Burn your flame through the night.
Spirit. Watch the heavens open, yeah. Spirit, can you hear it calling?

Beyoncé, who voices Nala in the Lion King, also sings Can You Feel the Love Tonight? alongside the voice of Simba, Donald Glover.
Meanwhile the films soundtrack, produced by Hans Zimmer, features Sir Elton John as well as Pharell Williams, Seth Rogen who voices Pumbaa, his sidekick Billy Eichner as Timon, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays the villainous Scar.
Billy, meanwhile, has been teasing just how good Bey is ahead of the films release.
