The highly anticipated teen sci-fi drama Insurgent has unveiled the second track from its soundtrack that features the likes of M83, Imagine Dragons and Zella Day. Woodkid and Lykke Li have shared their slow-moving collaboration "Never Let You Down."
The theatric collaboration works within the context of a high-drama film with Woodkid's intricately crafted strings and booming percussion, while Lykke Li provides the "dream voice" the French singer, songwriter, musician and film director was looking for. The vocals provide a yearning for a hero to save the singer as the pair croon, "Could you be waiting by shore, oh, I could drown without you / Will you be holding out the line when I fall?"

The soundtrack will be released March 17 via Interscope Records before the film heads to theaters three days later on March 20. Pre-order the album on iTunes.
"Never Let You Down" follows up M83 and HAIM's contribution "Holes in the Sky," which has a similar theatrical, string-heavy sound. Insurgent is the second movie adaptation in the Divergant book trilogy written by Veronica Roth. The first soundtrack featured the likes of Zedd, Ellie Goulding, Skrillex and Pretty Lights.
