Miranda Lambert writes song for "Hot Pursuit" film

Country star wrote the song for the new Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara Movie out now.

You know you've officially made it in music when an award winning actor reaches out to you personally about writing a song for their upcoming movie. That was exactly what happened to Miranda Lambert when she received a text from Reese Witherspoon, asking the singer to pen a track for the upcoming comedy, "Hot Pursuit." The result is Lambert's original "Two of a Crime."

“Reese texted me and told me about the movie and wanted me to write something or sing or both," explains Lambert. "I got inspired. I love Reese and Sofia. It was a bit of a 'Thelma and Louise' theme and that’s totally up my alley. It is really so fun to be part of it. It was the first time I wrote a song specifically for a movie, so it was a different experience for me.”

Lambert wrote the song with frequent collaborators Natalie Hemby and Nicolle Galyon. The notes from Witherspoon were that she wanted to have a “Southern and a Latin flavor” represented in the song. Lambert's recording of “Two of a Crime” will be available at iTunes on April 28. New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures present, a Foxy/Pacific Standard production, an Anne Fletcher film, “Hot Pursuit.” Set to hit theaters on May 8, 2015, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
