Earlier this week the announcement of the monster collaboration between Pharrell, Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys and Hans Zimmer for the The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was revealed. In order to extend on the pleasant news, Alicia Keys has shared her thoughts on the anticipated single titled “It’s On Again.”

“I’m very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer. This is the next chapter in the ‘Spider-Man’ legacy and we really feel ‘It’s On Again’ captures the experience, the story — and most importantly — the meaning behind the film, which is that we all have the potential to be extraordinary. There’s a little bit of a super hero in all of us.”

Pharrell also dropped his two cents:

“Hans has created an iconic score theme and it was exciting to collaborate with him again on this song. When I was making the song, I knew Alicia and Kendrick had to be on it. They take the song to a whole new level.”

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is set to be released on April 22 and you can catch the film in cinemas on April 16.
