AceShowbiz - The wait is finally over. The Weeknd finally released "Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)" from "Avatar: The Way of Water" soundtrack, just one day before the new film hit theaters on Friday, December 16.
"Been living this life so patient/ Until I see you again, it's war we're facin'/ I know that if I die, my only choice is still defending," the 32-year-old croons. "No matter what they say/ My love for you is greater than their powers/ And their armies from above."
"You give me strength/ I'm with you either way/ If I die, if I stay/ Give me strength/ I'm with you either way," the Canadian superstar continues in the chorus. "Nothing's lost, no more pain/ Just give me strength."
The Weeknd first teased his involvement in the long-awaited sequel to 2009's "Avatar" earlier this month. At that time, he shared on Twitter and Instagram a 12-second music clip featuring the blue Avatar logo. In the caption of the post, he simply wrote, "12.16.22."
The dramatic reveal features the sequel's logo, along with a few seconds of the tune. It's a choral track, filled with building battle drums that punctuate the giant blue-colored "A" that fills the frame.
The Weeknd eventually unleashed the song's snippet on his social media platforms on December 7. "#AvatarTheWayofWater THE MOTION PICTURE EVENT OF A GENERATION. Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength) Music Dec 15 + Film Dec 16," he penned alongside the clip.
"Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)" was written by The Weeknd and produced by his frequent collaborator, Swedish House Mafia, as well as Simon Franglen. According to a press release, the tune "speaks to the epic scope, breathtaking action, and thrilling drama of the film itself."
