Camila Cabello was excited to team up with legendary film composer Hans Zimmer for a new song.

On Sunday, the BBC announced Cabello, 25, and Zimmer — the 64-year-old, Oscar-winning German composer behind 1994's The Lion King, the Dark Knight trilogy, Dune and other films — have joined forces for a new song titled "Take Me Back Home" from BBC One's upcoming docuseries, Frozen Planet II.

Featuring Cabello's vocals and Zimmer's instrumentation and created alongside arranger Anže Rozman and producer Russell Emanuel for Bleeding Fingers Music, "Take Me Back Home" will premiere Friday on BBC Radio 1 alongside an extended trailer for the series.

"my life is a dream," Cabello wrote Sunday on Twitter alongside the announcement.

A sequel to the BBC Studios Natural History Unit's 2011 series Frozen Planet, a nature documentary series focused on climate change's impact on the Arctic and Antarctic regions, Frozen Planet II will dive deeper on its effect on wildlife and see David Attenborough return as narrator.

Cabello spoke further about the collaboration in a statement to BBC. "To be able to combine my passion for the planet we live on and my music is a dream come true – never mind also getting to work with the legend that is Hans Zimmer," said the "Bam Bam" singer-songwriter.

"Frozen Planet II is stunning and Sir David's narration is deeply powerful as we try to protect these incredible ecosystems from global warming," continued Cabello. "I'm grateful to be able to lend my voice to such an inspiring series."
