She penned the song with Ryan Tedder and Brent Kutzle of OneRepublic, along with Mikky Ekko (Rihanna's "Stay"). The song was written for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, and we hear the songstress channeling the movie's heroine Katniss Everdeen as she sings, "Whatever happens here… we remain."
