Elton John and Brandi Carlile have unveiled their new original song ‘Never Too Late'.

The track was written specifically for the forthcoming documentary Elton John: Never Too Late, which receives a limited theatrical release today before arriving on Disney+ on December 13. The documentary follows the legendary songwriter as he looks back on his life and the early days of his 50-year career.

The eponymous song, produced by Andrew Watt, was co-written by Elton and eleven time GRAMMY winner Brandi Carlile in the summer of 2023, after Carlile was shown an unfinished and as-yet-untitled early cut of their forthcoming film.

"It was really amazing to see historic footage of Elton and the trajectory of his life," Carlile says. "But as fantastic and as beautiful as everything was that we were all witnessing as fans, his life was also pretty lonely and difficult at times. And I thought that the documentary illustrated a really important sentiment, because he might not have ever found his serenity and his peace, but he did find it, and he found it later in life."

"When Brandi told me she was so inspired by the early cut of the documentary that she wanted us to to co-write a new song for it, I was thrilled," adds Elton. "I’ve known for a long time how great she was but still, reading her lyrics and co-writing with her on the music was deeply moving.

"I’m constantly astonished by her craft, she can channel my voice in a way only Bernie has managed to do before. I know Bernie helped guide Brandi on that. The standard of her musicianship, her songwriting, her passion for what she does are sensational. She truly is one of the greatest there is."
