LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Ellie Goulding joined the likes of Beyonce and The Weeknd Wednesday with the release of a new single for the upcoming movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. Goulding's catchy "Love Me Like You Do" features several allusions to the dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism from the book.

"You're the cure/ you're the pain/ you're the only thing I want to touch/ Never knew that it/ could mean so much/ You're the fear/ I don't care/ 'Cause I've never been so high," Goulding sings in the first few seconds of the song.
The 28-year-old British singer has previously contributed to the soundtracks for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 with "Bittersweet," The Hunger Games: Catching Fire with "Mirror" and Divergent with "Beating Heart".
While there is no official track list for the upcoming Fifty Shades soundtrack, two of Beyonce's songs have been featured in the film's trailers -- including a lewd version of "Crazy in Love" and "Hunted" -- and The Weeknd unveiled "Earned It," which was written for the film, in December.
Fifty Shades of Grey is based on the E.L. James novel of the same name and opens in theaters on Valentine's Day.
