Janelle Monae is not only making her voice acting debut in the upcoming animated film Rio 2, but she also is featured on the movie's soundtrack, which now has a release date.

The funky singer has penned a new song called "What Is Love" for the album Rio 2: Music from the Music Picture, arriving in stores March 25.

"Yes!!! #Rio2 soundtrack & artists revealed!! So happy @wondaland & I got to write "What is Love" for this movie!'" she tweeted on Tuesday.

Seems like "What Is Love" is the song that will serve as the single off the soundtrack, maybe this will experience a close success to Frozens...

Here is also a teaser of Bruno Mars' song "Welcome Back":

Janelle killed it on AI last night.

She just keeps streaking wins. Damn, look at her go.

She killed it, wow.. I hope this soundtrack goes number one.

Her old school, Michael Jacksonesque dance moves are something to be admired. She's a true star.

Amazing performer, amazing artist and o so beautiful. She just keeps getting better and better.
