Although Lauryn Hill hasn’t been active in the realm of music these past couple of years, her samples have graced popular Drake and Cardi B records. With the former Fugees member having not released a solo track in nearly five years, it appears that the drought will be over soon.

The song is set to debut next month on the Queen & Slim soundtrack. The soundtrack is set to drop on November 15th, which will mark her first solo effort since 2014’s “Black Rage (Sketch).” Other makes set to appear in the soundtrack include: Vince Staples, Lil Baby, 6lack, Megan Thee Stallion and many more.

“I wanted the soundtrack for Queen & Slim to showcase the historical evolution of Black music, from its roots in blues and soul to modern bounce, hip hop, and R&B—much like we used to see in film soundtracks in the 1990s,” the film’s director Melina Matsoukas said. “We partnered with Motown because of their legacy within Black music. I am honored to have worked beside Ethiopia and cannot wait for audiences to hear what each artist has created.”

The film is set to debut in theaters on November 27th.
