Carly Rae Jepsen kicked the summer off with the release of her song “Cut To The Feeling” on Friday.

The track was written during sessions for Jepsen’s last album, Emotion, but will now be featured on the motion picture soundtrack for the upcoming animated film Leap!, coming to theaters August 30th.

Formally known as Ballerina, Leap! follows two friends on an adventure traveling to Paris in hopes of following their dreams. The cast includes Elle Fanning, Nat Wolff, Maddie Ziegler, Mel Brooks and Katie McKinnon. Jepsen voices the prima ballerina named Odette. Jepsen will be featured on the film’s soundtrack twice, with her latest track as well as another song called “Runaways” that has yet to be released.

Jepsen released Emotion in 2015 and followed the album up with Emotion Side B last year, an EP with previously unreleased tracks recorded during her sessions for Emotion.
