GRAMMY Award-winning Black Eyed Peas co-founder and mega-producer will.i.am produced the track. She’s also released a version of “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”

Hudson was notably handpicked by Franklin to portray her in the film from MGM, which opens in theaters nationwide on August 13th.

From MGM, Respect follows the rise of Aretha Franklin’s career from a child singing in her father’s church’s choir to her international superstardom, Respect is the remarkable true story of Franklin’s journey to find her voice.
