Just a week ahead of the premiere of one of the year’s most highly anticipated films, the Will Smith-led ‘King Richard,’ music megastar Beyoncé has unveiled her equally anticipated contribution to its soundtrack.

Titled ‘Be Alive,’ anthemic track – penned by Bey and DIXSON – acts as the standout cut from the movie’s musical companion album and sees the songstress show off her vocal prowess over orchestra-laden accompaniment.

“It feels so good to be alive / Got all my sisters by my side / Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried (Black off if I tried)

That’s why I lift my head with pridе / Now we’re sitting on top of the world again,” she belts on the soaring number.

Ahead of the November 19 theatrical arrival of ‘King’ (the story about the rise of tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams), hop inside to hear ‘Alive.’
