Boy, is there anything this girl isn’t doing? All at once? Even as she rubs shoulders with Liam Hemsworth for her next Hollywood flick and gears up for another season of Quantico, Priyanka Chopra has delivered her new single.
Yes, she sings too, remember?
Priyanka has collaborated with Australian DJ Will Sparks for a new youth anthem, Young and Free, which she has written and sung. She took to Twitter to share the news and the sound of the number:
Priyanka Chopra told Billboard in an interview that she wrote the song at a vulnerable point of her life.
I wrote this song at a very precarious time in my life. These lyrics were born from a need for freedom, whatever that freedom may mean to each one of us. Being young and free is a state of mind that we all need to find in this crazy world to survive. What I love most about this track is the spontaneity from which it was born. While I was writing, Will was mixing the track into a roar of emotions and rebelliousness. It all came together in a true creative way. Will has taken the lyrics and given them life. This song reminded me of how much I love making music.

For Sparks, it’s a track ahead of its time.
I wanted ‘Young and Free’ to feel like a track ahead of its time. Collaborating with Priyanka has taken it to a whole new level. Her message and incredible voice combined with my production style has created something unique.
