Underwood finds a place with Narnia

Underwood agreed to co-write (with David Hodges and Hillary Lindsey) and record the song, produced by Mark Bright, after the filmmakers screened for them a rough cut of the picture.

Underwood said, "I'm a big fan of the 'Narnia' books and films, so I was really excited about seeing this new movie and writing and performing a song for it. I was blown away by the film, and I think people are going to be really excited when they see it. It's the perfect holiday film."

The movie "presents an imaginative world that's also relatable because it's easy to connect the characters and themes to our own lives," Underwood continues. "The land of Narnia represents a place where the young heroes truly belong. That inspired me to get together with David and Hillary and write There's a Place for Us, which says that for everybody, there's a place where you're powerful and where you belong. The movie and song are about finding that place where you fit in."

The song will receive major broadcast and online debuts this month, and will be available for purchase exclusively at iTunes on Nov. 16. International cover versions of Underwood's song will be recorded overseas in a small number of select countries, broadening the impact of this worldwide release.
