Los Angeles Sep 20 (IANS) Grammy-winning band Imagine Dragons has written and recorded the end-credit song "Zero" for Walt Disney Animation Studios film "Ralph Breaks the Internet".
The song is available from KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records.
In the movie video-game bad guy Ralph struggles with his evolving friendship with fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz.
According to Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds the film s emotional themes are reflected in the song "Zero" read a statement.
"It s a pretty timely movie in a lot of ways in that it addresses some of the issues of identity and loneliness unique to this Internet generation " said Reynolds.
"Ralph s internal struggle for self-acceptance really resonated with us and this song speaks to that."
Directed by Rich Moore and Phil Johnston "Ralph Breaks the Internet" opens in the US on November 21.
"It s a bold choice for an end-credit song because it s about someone who feels like a zero someone who hasn t always felt worthy someone who s allowed his entire sense of self to rely on a single friendship. When that friendship is threatened there s a lot of insecurity " said Moore.
Johnston added: "We can all relate to that feeling. But the song tells us we re not alone. They nailed the theme of the movie in a way that also makes you want to dance."
The song is a dichotomy in some ways with sometimes heavy lyrics over pretty upbeat instrumentation shared Reynolds.
"The result is a tone that is somewhat bittersweet which felt appropriate given the complexity of Ralph as a character " he added.
