A-Trak, Kimbra and Foster the People frontman Mark Foster have joined forces for "Warrior," the latest track in Converse's Three Artists, One Song series. The song is part of the launch of a line of footwear that will be sold exclusively at Journeys shops; it will be made available as a video and free download from the Journeys website on April 5th.

"I had such a good time diving into the creative process working with two incredible artists," Foster said in a statement. "This project has given me a newfound appreciation for the power of collaboration."

Previous installments in Converse's series of collaborations include "DoYaThing," a track by Gorillaz with James Murphy and Andre 3000; Best Coast's "All Summer," featuring Kid Cudi and Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend; and Matt and Kim, Soulja Boy and Andrew W.K.'s "I'm A Goner."

Alex Chilton chose to write about the innocence of young love instead of pent-up frustration for this ballad, which he titled after the age of the protagonists. However, Chilton admitted he was not happy with how the song turned out. "I think the performance of it on the record is bad. Just the singing really is … it's the wrong sort of approach, but at that time I didn't really know how to make the voice sounds in the studio that I wanted to do; it was a year or two later when I figured that out." When Chilton was at the age of 13, he experienced a life-changing occurrence -- the Beatles' landmark appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
