"The Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence will be featured on the film's soundtrack with a recording of "Rue's Lullaby."

According to MTV, music producer and co-composer T-Bone Burnett revealed the news last night and Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen, has already been in the studio to record the track.

Fans of the books will know what the context of the song, but everyone else will have to wait until March 23, 2012, when the adaptation hits theaters.

Earlier this month, Lionsgate along with Universal Republic announced a partnership on the soundtrack, which they said will not only include music being recorded by major artists for inclusion in the film, but a series of companion recordings that will feature new songs directly influenced by the themes and subject matter of "The Hunger Games," recorded by "some of music's most successful and acclaimed artists."
Burnett is collaborating with composer Danny Elfman on the film's score, which will also be released by Universal Republic.

Based on the best-selling novel by Suzanne Collins, "The Hunger Games" is being directed by Gary Ross ("Seabiscuit," "Pleasantville") based on a screenplay from Bill Ray ("State of Play").
