Christina Aguilera proved she's a "Fighter" years ago, so it makes perfect sense that the five-time Grammy winner has recorded a track for the upcoming Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack. The Voice coach made the announcement via Twitter on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

"Love the underlying message of @TheHungerGames," she wrote. "'We Remain' is special new song, its message to my fans & how I connect w/ the movie, alike."

The message was retweeted several thousand times, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. "this is so unexpected. I need to pee omg," one fan tweeted. Another follower wrote, "@xtina I can't wait to hear it! I know it'll be extraordinary. Xo."

No word yet on when Aguilera plans to release the song. "We Remain" joins the previously released piano ballad "Atlas," written and performed by Coldplay, as well as The National's "Lean."

The same day Aguilera, 32, shared her news online, the official Hunger Games Twitter account announced that advance tickets for the sequel go on sale Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 12 p.m. ET. The film, starring Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen, arrives in theaters Nov. 22.
