The tune comes at a pivotal moment for Nala, the character voiced by Beyonc, in the film that comes out July 18. It's part of an album called "The Lion King: The Gift" that Beyonc is executive producing and performing on along with other artists. The collection is a companion to the main "Lion King" soundtrack, which consists mostly of songs from the animated film, along with a new number from Elton John and Tim Rice, who wrote the songs for the original.
