Walt Disney RecordsThe soundtrack to the new CGI version of Disney’s The Lion King was released digitally today, and with it comes a brand-new Elton John song, “Never Too Late,” which you can check out now on YouTube.

The upbeat track, which will be heard as the movie’s end credits roll, also features African vocal and choir arrangements. Elton co-wrote the song with Tim Rice, with whom he collaborated on all the tunes for the original 1994 Lion King movie.

Those tunes, including “Circle of Life,” “Hakuna “Matata” and, of course, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” have been redone for the new flick.

The new version of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” is performed by Beyoncé and Donald Glover — who play Nala and Simba, respectively — as well as Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen, who play Timon and Pumbaa, respectively.

Physical versions of the new Lion King soundtrack, which can be pre-ordered now, will be released on Friday, July 19, the same day that the movie premieres.
