2009 American Idol runner up Adam Lambert recorded this power ballad for the disaster epic movie 2012.
The song was produced by big-rock guru Rob Cavallo, the man behind hit albums for Green Day, My Chemical Romance and Paramore among many others. Lambert explained to MTV News that working with Cavallo was fairly intense. "[He] pushed me to the limit," Lambert said. "I sang for my life. It was quite a day of recording, but it turned out great."
Queen guitarist Brian May got an early chance to listen to the new track while hanging out with Cavallo. He gushed: "I have to say I was completely blown away… it's truly sensational. In fact it's so obviously a number one smash, any bookie would be mad to take bets on it. I am not kidding. I'm not easily moved to jelly by male vocalists… but Adam's voice reaches out with sensitivity, depth, maturity, and awesome range and power which will make jaws drop all around the world. Its an awesome performance. No doubt about it. The world of Rock has a bright new star."
