The short clip includes an eight-second snippet of her track, and it’s already making waves online. The full soundtrack will be available through Roc Nation Distribution and will arrive just weeks before the movie hits cinemas on 18 July 2025.
Tyla joins a star-studded list of artists featured in the film’s music. Global icon Rihanna is also part of the project and is releasing a new track titled “Friend of Mine” on 16 May. This will be Rihanna’s first new song since 2022’s “Lift Me Up” for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Her new single has an Afrobeats-inspired vibe and plays during the movie’s new trailer.
Also on the soundtrack are big names like DJ Khaled, Cardi B, and DESI TRILL, whose track “Higher Love” is another standout song. The soundtrack promises to bring a mix of fun, culture, and energy — just like the film itself.
Tyla’s inclusion in this project shows how far she’s come and how her talent is being noticed across the world. From Johannesburg to Hollywood, she’s making South Africans proud with every move.
The Smurfs movie tells a fun and adventurous story where evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel kidnap Papa Smurf. The rest of the Smurfs travel into the real world to rescue him and discover their true purpose along the way.
With the release of the soundtrack on 13 June, fans will get to enjoy Tyla’s unique sound and see her shine among global stars. Get ready — this is another big moment for African music!
