The new original song comes on the heels of Pharrell’s partnership and collaboration with the LEGO® Group on the new Over the Moon set – a space shuttle with a golden canopy and a vibrant jet stream of colors.

If you feel like playing, you can pre-order the set, which will arrive on September 20th, on the Lego site.

Focus Features will release Piece by Piece in US theaters on Friday, October 11th. The film is produced by Pharrell Williams, Mimi Valdés, Caitrin Rogers along with Morgan Neville. It is EP’d by David Lawrence, Shani Saxon, Jill Wilfert and Keith Malone.
