Alicia Keys' "It's On Again (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)," From The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Available Today In The U.S.

NEW YORK, April 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Records -- Columbia Records and Madison Gate Records have released a brand new song "It's On Again," performed by Alicia Keys featuring Kendrick Lamar, heard on the highly anticipated The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The track was written exclusively for the film by Pharrell Williams, Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, and Top Dawg Entertainment recording artist Kendrick Lamar, and produced by Pharrell Williams. "It's On Again" is available in the U.S. today: http://smarturl.it/AKItsOnAgain.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about creating the soundtrack and writing "It's On Again," Pharrell explains that he "had an idea, and [Hans] lifted it to new heights. I had a little dirt-hill idea and he's turned it into a mountain. Alicia is singing and she did some co-writing on it too, and with Kendrick, it just feels like we might have our own little Mt. Rushmore here." Zimmer further explains, "We were this pressure cooker. Having all this talent in the room, there were ideas flying around all the time. They weren't just about music. They were about story, they were about all sorts of things."

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, April 22.

We've always known that Spider-Man's most important conflict has been within himself:  the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man.  But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin.

It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield).  For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone).  But being Spider-Man comes at a price:  only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city.  With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he.  And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common:  Oscorp. Directed by Marc Webb.  Produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.  Screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner.  Screen Story by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner and James Vanderbilt.  Based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
