Songwriter extraordinaire Taylor Swift and former One Directioner Zayn Malik have revealed a project theyâd secretly been working on: writing the theme to âFifty Shades Darker.â
The breathy new track, âI Donât Wanna Live Forever,â will appear in the second installment of the âFifty Shades of Greyâ franchise, starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson.
Swift and Malik shared the news over their social media accounts late Thursday night, including a snippet:
Following the news of Swiftâs first 2016 release as a vocalist, fans promptly went into overdrive. The song, written by Swift and Funâs Jack Antonoff with melodramatic lines including âI donât wanna live forever / âCause I know Iâll be living in pain,â quickly shot to the top of iTunesâ charts.
Although she hasnât released much since her 2014 album â1989,â Swift hasnât been letting her legendary songwriting skills go. In July, it was confirmed that the pop star had actually written former boyfriend Calvin Harrisâ hit âThis Is What You Came For,â and the country group Little Big Town debuted a Swift-penned single last month.
âFifty Shades Darkerâ hits theaters Feb. 10. âI Donât Wanna Live Foreverâ is available now.
