October 22, 2010 9:06 AM ET

Lady Gaga and Elton John, who teamed up to open the 52nd Annual Grammys back in January, have collaborated on a new song, "Hello, Hello." It will appear on the soundtrack for the animated Disney film Gnomeo and Juliet (and not on Gaga's upcoming album Born This Way), EW's The Music Mix reports. The film hits theaters February 11th, 2011. Gaga and John performed "Pokerface," "Speechless" and Elton's "Your Song" at the Grammys, and John has since been keen on working with Gaga on new music. "I'd love to [work with her] in the future," John recently told EW. "There's a chance I might do one track with her [for Born This Way], but it's just, she's so busy, and I'm so busy, we can never get together!"

John, who is a producer on Gnomeo and Juliet, co-wrote the movie's soundtrack with composer James Newton Howard. He has contributed music to movies before — most notably with his Oscar-winning The Lion King soundtrack — "Hello, Hello" marks Gaga's first contribution to a film.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
