Mendes co-wrote and produced "Heartbeat," an original song for his film Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.

"Heartbeat" will appear on the Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile soundtrack, along with "Top of the World," "Carried Away," and songs by Stevie Wonder, Elton John and other artists.

The soundtrack was written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is based on the Bernard Waber children's book of the same name. The film follows the Primms, a family who move into an old Victorian brownstone and befriend Lyle, the performing crocodile who lives in their bathtub.
