Miley Cyrus has released “Dream as One,” a new song set to appear on the soundtrack for ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash,’ premiering in theaters on December 19th.

Cyrus co-wrote/co-produced the track along with Andrew Wyatt and Mark Ronson, with additional contributions from Jonathan Wilson, Simon Franglen, Brandon Bost, and more. She shared in an Instagram post: “Even through the flames. Even through the ashes in the sky. When we dream, we dream as one. Writing this song with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt came straight from the heart. Every lyric remembers where we’ve been, reflects where we are and holds hope for what’s ahead for all of us. It was an honor to create something so personal for a film that connects so deeply with people around the world.”

Avatar: Fire and Ash is the third installment in director James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ franchise — following ‘Avatar’ (2009) and ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ (2022), and once again starring Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana.

The film also stars Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, David Thewlis, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Brendan Cowell, Bailey Bass, Filip Geljo, Duane Evans, Jr. and Kate Winslet.  James Cameron directs the film from a script he wrote with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.

The original Avatar: Fire and Ash soundtrack, featuring composer Simon Franglen’s score, will drop the week before the film’s release, on December 12.
