It's no "Lose Yourself," but Eminem's new song "Phenomenal" is a worthy contender for your sweat-inducing workout playlist.

The tune will be featured on the soundtrack for Weinstein Company's sports drama Southpaw, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as an acclaimed boxer whose wife (Rachel McAdams) accidentally dies during an out-of-the-ring brawl. Eminem was originally considered for that lead role, but he was replaced by Gyllenhaal when the 42-year-old rapper's music career took priority.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, Southpaw bobs and weaves its way into theaters on July 24. Watch the trailer, below.
