Singer Jade Thirlwall says working on the official song for BBC documentary Blue Planet III is "one of the best things" she's ever done.
The former Little Mix star worked with legendary composer Hans Zimmer on Into The Deep (Seas Cry), a piece created for the launch of the series narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
Thirlwall, who debuted the track on BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show, told host Greg James working on it was a "very special" experience.
Blue Planet III is due to air this autumn, but an official release date is yet to be announced.
During her breakfast show appearance, Thirlwall said Blue Planet, which focuses on the life of our seas and oceans, was her favourite TV show.
