Keith Urban
Jan 23, 2012
Capitol Nashville artist Keith Urban will record an original track for the upcoming film, "Act Of Valor." The song "For You," which was co-written by Urban and Monty Powell, will be the first time Urban has recorded a song specifically for a motion picture, which will be featured during the film's end credits. "Act Of Valor," which hits theaters Friday February 24th, stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs, and tells a story about global anit-terrorism.
Urban said, "I loved the challenge of writing for a film. I've never done that before. After seeing 'Act Of Valor,' my co-writer and I wanted to capture the essence of not only what these men and women do so extraordinarily, but how that relates to all of us. 'Valor' shows us what they are willing to give their all for, which made me wonder, 'What am I willing to give my life for?' 'For You' is intended to allow the listener to define who that is for them."
"For You" was co-produced by Dan Huff and Urban and was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at Starstruck Studios. The "Act of Valor" soundtrack, featuring the song "For You" by Urban, will be available digitally on iTunes, and in retail locations on Tuesday, February 21st. Original songs inspired by the film from various Country artists will also be released within the coming weeks.
