Jackie Chan Records Official Beijing Olympics Song
Share

Actor and martial arts expert Jackie Chan has recorded the official song for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the star has revealed.

Speaking in a blog on his official website, Chan said that the song, titled ‘We Are Ready’, took just three hours to record when he hit a studio in Beijing.

Sung entirely in Chinese, there are also plans to record an English language version of the track.

The rather cutting lyrics in the chorus read: "Waiting year after year/ We can see into the future/ Together with hard work and sweat/ We've created the five different colours." Genius.

The track was written by the acclaimed Peter Kam who recently scored the soundtrack to the film Isabella.
