Some of the lyrics in the track read: “Fire on fire / Would normally kill us / But this much desire / Together we’re winners / They say that we’re out of control And some say we’re sinners.”

The latest Watership Down series is a Noam Murro-directed adaptation of Richard Adams’ award-winning novel about a pack of rabbits. Netflix broadcasts the miniseries this Sunday, December 23.

In a statement, Smith said: “I am so excited and honoured to be a part of this new adaptation of Watership Down.

“This story is so powerful and timeless, and it has been thrilling to work with director Noam Murro and his team and the incredible Steve Mac on this song for it. I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”

Smith has worked on other soundtracks. In 2015, his song ‘Writing’s on the Wall’ was the theme for the James Bond film Spectre.
