About the new song, Andra Day said;
"I was so moved by the story of Thurgood Marshall. It was an incredible honor to not only be asked to record the lead single, but also appear in the movie.

"Marshall" is American biographical thriller film, directed by Reginald Hudlin, starring Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Sterling K. Brown, Dan Stevens and Kate Hudson.
The film drews about the first African-American attorney Thurgood Marshall, who battles through one of his career-defining cases. It is scheduled to be released on October 13, 2017.
Synopsis:
Long before he sat on the United States Supreme Court or claimed victory in Brown v. Board of Education, Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) was a young rabble-rousing attorney for the NAACP. The new motion picture, "Marshall", is the true story of his greatest challenge in those early days - a fight he fought alongside attorney Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a young lawyer with no experience in criminal law: the case of black chauffeur Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown), accused by his white employer, Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), of sexual assault and attempted murder. - source : Broadwayworld
