Nathaniel Rateliff has recorded a new song and a Bruce Springsteen cover for the upcoming movie Lovers.

The original track is called "Tommy's Song," while the Boss cover is a rendition of the Born in the U.S.A. closer "My Hometown."

"The film is a beautiful tribute to friendship and the friends we've lost too soon," Rateliff says.

Lovers will be released March 20 on Apple TV.

Rateliff will be playing a pair of shows in May in support of Alabama Shakes.
