Previously Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and Lorde have lent songs to the Hunger Games franchise.

On Olivia’s collaboration, Francis Lawrence, director of the new film, said: “From the very beginning of this franchise, we have been fortunate to attract some of the world’s most talented recording artists, whose music has accentuated and complemented the drama of the films while underscoring the emotional weight carried by the characters. With her highly charged lyrics and urgent voice, Olivia Rodrigo taps into all of that as much as any artist today. She’s an absolute thrill to work with and we couldn’t be more excited that her music is a part of the movie.”

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is centered on Coriolanus (Blyth) who is the last hope for his family’s storied lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol.

He is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12.

The film will release in theatres on November 17.
