“Having my song be a part of the classic Star Wars franchise via ‘The Acolyte’ is such an honor and I’m thrilled for everyone to hear it when they see how it ties into the overall storyline,” she said of the new tune ‘Two.’ “D’Mile and I had a great time making the song and hope the world loves it as much as we do.”
