"You know your song saved my life/ I don't sing it, just so I can get by/ Won't you hear me when I tell you, darlin'/ I sing it to survive," frontman Bono sings during the chorus.

U2 last released the album Songs of Experience in December 2017.

Bono lends his voice to Sing 2 and portrays reclusive rock legend Clay Calloway. The film is centered around Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) and his friends needing to convince Clay to perform onstage again for a big concert.

Sing 2 is coming to theaters on Dec. 22. Co-stars include Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Reese Witherspoon, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Bobby Cannavale and Halsey.
