Maren Morris has released her new song “Kiss the Sky” for the upcoming film The Wild Robot, set to premiere Sept. 27 featuring the voices of Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O’Hara, Billy Nighy, Kit Connor, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Matt Berry and Ving Rhames.

Morris shares (via Billboard): “I was honored to be approached to write for The Wild Robot because I just identified so closely with the story. I was so emotionally moved by this story as a mother. Writing the songs for this film was such an honor because it made me feel even closer to my son, especially when I’m touring and sometimes have to be far away from him. The entire Wild Robot team has been so supportive of the creation of these songs and I’m so excited for the world to see this film.”

The film follows Roz (Nyong’o), a robot who gets stuck on an island and becomes friends with its animal inhabitants; according to a press release: “‘Kiss the Sky’ accompanies a pivotal emotional sequence in the film. As the sequence continues, the song is interwoven with the film’s score by Oscar winning composer Kris Bowers.”

Another song from Morris, “Even When I’m Not,” will also appear as the end-title song on The Wild Robot, produced by The Monsters & Strangerz production team and Tejada. Kris Bowers handled orchestration and served as the movie’s composer.
