After teasing the song with a hashtag earlier this month, Alicia Keys has unleashed "It's On Again," a uptempo anthem of empowerment for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie.
The single (listen, below) begins with an explosive rap from Kendrick Lamar before Keys jumps into a superhero-infused lyric, singing, "There's no day off for heroes" several times throughout the nearly four-minute jam. Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer, co-composers of the upcoming film's score, had a hand in creating "It's On Again."

RCA Records and Keys uploaded the song to SoundCloud on Monday:
"I'm very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer," Keys said in statement. "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 superhero in all of us.”
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 from Columbia Pictures hits theaters on May 2. Its predecessor grossed more than $752 million at the worldwide box office.
Andrew Garfield returns as the title character and his out-of-suit role as Peter Parker, while Emma Stone reprises her role as love interest Gwen. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx enters the franchise as high-voltage villain Electro. The sequel introduces Parker's old friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan). Osborn's father runs Oscorp Industries, where Max Dillon got his villainous powers after an electrical accident and eventually transformed into Electro.
The film's final trailer arrived March 19, which you can watch below:
