What is the name of the song performed by Elton John for the 2019 remake's end credits?

The song performed by Elton John for the 2019 remake’s end credits is “Never Too Late.”

Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice wrote the song specifically for the end credits of Jon Favreau’s The Lion King. John had also composed the music for several songs in the 1994 animated film, while Rice wrote their lyrics, so the new track reunited two of the original film’s key musical collaborators.

The song is easy to confuse with “Spirit,” another new composition associated with the remake. “Spirit” was written and performed by Beyoncé, with Ilya Salmanzadeh and Labrinth as co-writers, and appears as part of the film’s musical program rather than being Elton John’s end-credit performance.

The 2019 soundtrack also revisited familiar material such as “Circle of Life” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” performed by the remake’s cast. “Never Too Late” therefore stands out as the newly written Elton John–Tim Rice contribution created for the closing credits.
