The song we have chosen to use is 'Safe and Sound' by Taylor Swift, ft The Civil Wars. The song was originally written as a collaboration by Taylor Swift, Joy Williams, John Paul White and T-Bone Burnett. It was written as a promotional track for the 2012 film 'The Hunger Games', and released on the 23rd December 2011, before the films release in March of 2012. Originally the song was premiered on Twitter by Taylor Swift, and when it was released she tweeted a link to the song which was being sold exclusively on itunes. Considering the hype and popularity of the film 'The Hunger Games' the song was originally released in the States and the UK, but also it reached the charts of Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The song also entered the Billboard Hot Digital songs tally at number 19 with 136,000 copies sold in two days. 'Safe and Sound' attained its highest position worldwide in New Zealand at number 11.
