U2’s First Track In Three Years To Be Featured In The Soundtrack Of ‘Sing 2’

Breaking their absence in the music scene for three years, U2 is finally releasing a new track which will appear on the soundtrack of the animated film “Sing 2” slated for release on Christmas Day.

“Your Song Saved My Life” is the band’s first offering after being on a hiatus since 2019. Apart from the new music, U2 fans are also in for a double treat as the band’s frontman Paul David Hewson or simply, Bono, is making his animated screen debut as the rockstar lion Clay Calloway which is also the central character in the movie, according to Deadline.

The movie follows the story of a koala named Buster Moon ( Matthew McConaughey) and his all-star cast of animal performers as they prepare to mount an unforgettable show in the entertainment capital of the world. To do this, they must persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star – Calloway to join them.

The movie will have covers of three U2 songs: “Where The Streets Have No Name” (to be performed by Tori Kelly, Taron Eagerton, Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon, Nick Kroll), “Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of,” (to performed by Johansson) and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” (a duet between Bono and Johansson), the report said.
