Mark Ronson's "Suicide Squad" collaboration with rapper Action Bronson and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys called "Standing in the Rain" has been released. Premiering on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio, the song serves as an reinterpretation of Oran "Juice" Jones' '80s classic hit "The Rain".
The song reportedly appears in the movie during an eerie scene featuring Will Smith's character Deadshot. "I saw you standing in the rain/ You were holding his hand/ And I'll never be the same," the trio sings in the chorus.
Action raps, "You can see me on the riviera dressed like a playboy/ Or you can catch me up in Rivieras Tuesday night/ Pillow fights with Dominican mothers/ That's what happens when it's suede on the roof/ Swervin' lane to lane in a coupe/ If I crash it, I'll probably just leave it as a token/ That your boy coulda died right there no jokin."
"I just couldn't believe that Dan, like, was just so cool and was like, 'Do you mind singing this Oran 'Juice' Jones song that you've never heard?" Mark tells Zane, "When I finally got it back, I was like, 'this is cool."
Mark, Action and Dan each get their own "Suicide Squad" skull logo.
"Suicide Squad: The Album" is slated to hit the stores on Friday, August 5, the same day the movie is released in U.S. theaters.
