The long-awaited duet is an incredible female empowerment anthem for the ages...

Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato's highly-anticipated collaboration is finally here and it's an important, necessary, huge pop moment.

The two pop divas use their powerhouse vocals to take a stand against those who oppress women and make a statement for female empowerment on 'Fall In Line'.

It's a theme that Aguilera has long addressed in her music - long live 'Can't Hold Us Down' - and it's clear that her fire has not yet burned out, as she remains unimpressed with the treatment of girls and women around the world.

Little girls, listen closely
'Cause no one told me
But you deserve to know
That in this world, you are not beholden
You do not owe them
Your body and your soul

All the youth in the world will not save you from growing older
And all the truth in a girl is too precious to be stolen from her

It's just the way it is
And maybe it's never gonna change
But I got a mind to show my strength
And I got a right to speak my mind
And I'm gonna pay for this
They're gonna burn me at the stake
But I got a fire in my veins
I wasn't made to fall in line
No, I wasn't made to fall in line, no

Show some skin, make him want you
'Cause God forbid you
Know your own way home
Ask yourself why it matters
Who it flatters
You're more than flesh and bones

All the youth in the world will not save you from growing older
And all the truth in a girl is too precious to be stolen from her

It's just the way it is
And maybe it's never gonna change (no)
But I got a mind to show my strength (my strength)
And I got a right to speak my mind (my mind)
And I'm gonna pay for this (pay)
They're gonna burn me at the stake (stake)
But I got a fire in my veins (veins)
I wasn't made to fall in line
No, no, I wasn't made to fall in line
No, we weren't made to fall in line, oh

Yeah, two, three
Right, two, three
Shut your mouth
Stick your ass out for me
March, two, three
Two, three
Who told you you're allowed to think?

Yea, two, three
Right, two, three
Shut your mouth
Stick your ass out for me
March, two, three
Two, three
Who told you you're allowed to think?

It's just the way it is
And maybe it's never gonna change
But I got a mind to show my strength (my strength)
And I got a right to speak my mind (my mind)
And I'm gonna pay for this (I'm gonna pay for this)
They're gonna burn me at the stake
But I got a fire in my veins
'Cause I wasn't made to fall in line
But I got a fire in my veins
I'm never gonna fall in line, oh

Yea, two, three
Right, two, three
Shut your mouth
Stick your ass out for me
March, two, three
Two, three
Who told you you're allowed to think?

Yea, two, three
Right, two, three
Shut your mouth
Stick your ass out for me
March, two, three
Two, three
Who told you you're allowed to think?

The legendary singer has revealed that the song is dedicated "To anyone who’s ever felt silenced and repressed, the truth seekers and bold thinkers… may you liberate your voice and break the mold, never back down, and never fall in line."

Both singers sound absolutely incredible as they belt it out on the powerful track, which opens with a direct message, as Christina sings:

"Little girls, listen closely ‘cause no one told me / But you deserve to know that in this world / You are not beholden / You do not owe them your body and your soul."

'Fall In Line' is, undoubtedly, the most meaningful song that the 'Accelerate' singer has released since 'You Lost Me', and the grandest since 'Hurt', arguably.

Christina's long-awaited return to music came earlier this month when she released the grimy club anthem 'Accelerate' with an epically sexy video, and she released a gorgeous ballad 'Twice' one week later.

'Fall In Line' is thought to be treated as the lead single from her upcoming album Liberation, which will be released on June 15th.

Christina and Demi are set to perform the song at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards, and our bets are on the two of them stealing the show because it's bound to be very powerful.

Nobody does it like Xtina, do they? Welcome. Back. (Again.)
