BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Country music star Keith Urban has co-written and recorded a song to appear in the end credits of the U.S. Navy SEAL film "Act of Valor," Relativity Media said.

The collaboration with songwriter Monty Powell is the first song Urban has written and recorded specifically for a motion picture.

Set to open in theaters Feb. 24, the movie stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs, along with actors Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov, Jason Cottle and Nestor Serrano.

"I loved the challenge of writing for a film," Urban said in a statement. "I've never done that before. After seeing 'Act of Valor,' my co-writer and I wanted to capture the essence of not only what these men and women do so extraordinarily, but how that relates to all of us. 'Valor' shows us what they are willing to give their all for, which made me wonder, 'What am I willing to give my life for?' 'For You' is intended to allow the listener to define who that is for them."
