We've got nine more days to wait before Disney's "The Lion King" live-action remake debuts nationwide, but Beyoncé just dropped something special to tide us over until then.
Disney released "Spirit," a new single from Beyoncé that's inspired by the movie, at midnight.
Better still, it's from the Beyoncé-curated compilation album, "The Lion King: The Gift," due out July 19, the same day the film hits theaters.
"Rise up to the light in the sky / Watch the light lift you harder / Burn your flame through the night / Spirit, let your heavens open," Beyoncé sings in the sweeping, gospel-flavored song.
"'The Lion King: The Gift,' an album featuring global artists & steeped in the sounds of Africa, produced & curated by @Beyonce Knowles-Carter, will release 7/19," Walt Disney Studios announced in a tweet Tuesday night.
