Ariana Grande and John Legend will re-record the iconic “Beauty and the Beast” title song for the upcoming live-action adaptation.

The ballad was previously performed by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson, and went on to receive the Academy Award for Best Song and Best Score in 1991. Angela Lansbury sang the song in the voice of her character, Mrs. Potts, in the film.

The new rendition of the classic song is produced by Ron Fair. He was brought in to produce by Disney’s president of music & soundtracks Mitchell Leib, who also brought Grande and Legend to the project.
