The Greatest Showman has enlisted one of The Greatest Pop Stars for its soundtrack.

Kesha has announced she is the new voice of 'This Is Me', the lead single from the flashy new film's soundtrack.

The original soundtrack was released earlier this month featuring the movie versions of each song and we already know that Kesha will bring this song to even greater heights.

View the lyrics
I used to live in the darkness
Dress in black, act so heartless
But now I see that colors are everything
Got kaleidoscopes in my hairdo
Got back the stars in my eyes, too
Yeah, now I see the magic inside of me

Yeah, maybe my head's fucked up
But I'm falling right back in love with being alive
Dreaming in light, light, lights
This kitty cat lost her mind
Been looking for a star-sent sign that I'll be alright
Look to the skies

I've found a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know, life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight

I'd forgot how to daydream
So consumed with the wrong things
But in the dark, I realized this life is short
And deep down, I'm still a child
Playful eyes, wide and wild
I can't lose hope, what's left of my heart's still made of gold

And I know that I'm still fucked up
But aren't we all, my love?
Darling, our scars make us who we are, are
So when the winds are howling strong
And you think you can't go on, hold tight, sweetheart

You'll find a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight

You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Night, night, night, night, night

I found a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you
Trust me, I know, the ghosts will try to find you
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight
Oh, put those colors on, girl
Come and paint the world with me tonight

Come and paint the world with me tonight

Kesha is perfectly suited to the defiant anthem, a soaring power ballad about embracing yourself flaws and all and 'marching to the beat of your own drum'.

"Run away, they say / No one'll love you as you are / But I won't let them break me down to dust / I know that there's a place for us / For we are glorious," is how it goes.

We'd expect the production to stay the same as the original, à la Demi Lovato's version of 'Let It Go' for Frozen, however it could be tweaked.

While Kesha revealed the news earlier today, she has not announced when her version of the song will appear. Why tease us like this?!

Fingers crossed it comes with this week's New Music Friday because we need to hear it!

Let's be serious, come on
This is a real, this is, excuse me?
Ok, shut up

I buy my own things, I pay my own bills
These diamond rings, my automobiles
Everything I got, I bought it, boys can't buy my love, buy my love, yeah

I do what I want (She does), say what you say
I work real hard every day

I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah

Let's drive around town in my Cadillac
Girls in the front, boys in the back
Loosey as a goosey and we're looking for some fun

I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
Mmh, yeah

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby (I run my shit)

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey" (Don't touch my weave, baby)
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run this shit, baby, I run this shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit

I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
