Shot on location in Fort San Pedro, Cebu City, the video will also be shown on Channel V starting today.

During the open forum with fans, Pascual shared that recording a Disney song is a dream come true for him.  “I grew up watching Disney and Pixar films, so to be associated with them through this song is a blessing. Every artist dreams of this, I can’t believe it came true for me.”

Explaining what makes the song special, the 20-year-old singer-composer said, “The song speaks about, ‘Remember me for the positive things I did, remember me even if I have to travel far.’ Make every second count. Be you, be yourself.”

“Remember Me,” the signature song from “Coco,” was composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the Oscar-winning duo who created the songs for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 2013 feature Frozen.

Disney-Pixar’s “Coco” opens in Philippine cinemas on November 22.  Walt Disney Animation Studios's “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure,” an all-new featurette, will play in front of the film.

When the townspeople unexpectedly leave early to enjoy their individual holiday customs, the sisters realize they have no family traditions of their own.

“Good Life” by G-Eazy & Kehlani is joined by a new high-energy companion video that includes never-before-seen footage from FAST & FURIOUS 8. The “Good Life” video was released today and has since been shared on the official “FAST AND FURIOUS” Facebook page, which has more than 60 million likes.

“Kehlani is one of my favorite people on earth. She's incredibly talented but beyond that she has a special soul,” said G-Eazy. “It's easy for us to work together because we go way back, that's one of my closest homies. She has a great energy and this song is all about that.”

“Collaborating with G is always special because it’s deeper than music, it’s friendship, it’s wanting a day-one to succeed alongside you… succeeding with family,” said Kehlani. “Being a part of the album and the Fast and Furious franchise is an honor. As not only a fan of great action films, but a super fan of this specific franchise, I honestly couldn’t even believe I was chosen. I grew up watching the Fast and Furious films, waiting for the next one with my little siblings. It really brought us together. And the music video has all the amazing elements the films have: dope cars, real friendship, cool cities and kick-ass individuals.”

“Good Life” is the follow-up to G-Eazy’s RIAA platinum-certified “WHEN IT’S DARK OUT,” which debuted at No. 1 onBillboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” and “Top Rap Albums” charts upon its 2015 release. The album is highlighted by the 4x-platinum certified No. 1 smash, “Me Myself & I,” (Feat. Bebe Rexha), a true global phenomenon that earned more than 1 billion streams worldwide. GRAMMY®-nominated Kehlani recently released her critically acclaimed Atlantic Records debut album “SWEETSEXYSAVAGE” – featuring the hit singles “Distraction” and “CRZY” – which made a phenomenal debut upon its January 2017 release, entering the SoundScan/Billboard 200 at No. 3 while also coming in at No. 1 on the “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart.

In the past two weeks since the March 3 announcement of “FAST & FURIOUS 8: THE ALBUM,” the soundtrack has seen a storm of high-profile media attention for not only the reveal of the “STACKED” track listing, but also with the release two smash singles: “Go Off,” from Lil Uzi Vert, Quavo & Travis Scott; and “Hey Ma” (Feat. Camila Cabello) [Spanish Version], from Pitbull & J Balvin. Combined, the two singles/music videos have been streamed more than 37 million times worldwide in just two weeks.

Last Friday marked the epic release of “Hey Ma” (Feat. Camila Cabello) [Spanish Version], the historic first-time-ever collaboration from Latin GRAMMY® Award-winning global reggaeton superstar J Balvin and the GRAMMY® Award-winning international music icon Pitbull, made even more special with the featured inclusion of rising Cuban-American chart-topping singer/songwriter Camila Cabello. The track skyrocketed to No. 1 on the iTunes chart in ten countries, including the US Latin chart, and hit the top 10 in 22 countries worldwide. “Hey Ma” (Feat. Camila Cabello) [Spanish Version] is streaming now at the official Warner Music En Español YouTube channel, where it drew more than 10 million individual views in its first 72 hours alone. English language versions of the Latin anthem and its companion video will premiere on the album and film’s North American release day, April 14.

Pitbull & J Balvin’s “Hey Ma” (Feat. Camila Cabello) [Spanish Version] was also greeted with a tsunami of media attention spanning Rolling Stone, E! Online, Entertainment Weekly, Pop Crush, Latina, and many more. VIBE raved: “(Cabello’s) crossover appeal is ever-present as she shines next to the genre-bending Pitbull and reggaetonero great J Balvin with ease.” MTV.com agreed: “It's hard to picture anyone else shining alongside Mr. 305 and the Colombian pop star as brilliantly as (Cabello) does.” “Catchy AF,” affirmed Teen Vogue, noting Pitbull & J Balvin’s “Hey Ma” (Feat. Camila Cabello) [Spanish Version] is “unsurprisingly, ~flames emojis.~”

“FAST & FURIOUS 8: THE ALBUM” exploded out of the gate with “Go Off,” which drew wide-ranging media coverage, spanning Entertainment Weekly, MTV, The FADER, Complex, Pigeons and Planes, XXL, SPIN, YAHOO! Music, and countless others. Rolling Stone praised the video for its “cuts of the rappers that seamlessly dovetail in to match the movie's action-packed scenes.” “Go Off” “echoes the (FURIOUS) series’ aesthetic qualities,” declaredPitchfork, “with plenty of pyrotechnics and sports cars, as well as clips from the new movie itself.” The all-star hip-hop track is spinning now at multi-format radio outlets nationwide, while its explosive companion video – which racked up more than 5 million views in its first week alone – is streaming now at Lil Uzi Vert’s official YouTube channel.

Knobloch and Levy have worked together on the music oversight and supervision of numerous award-winning projects including Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, the films of the Despicable Mefranchise, and Sing.

On the heels of 2015’s Furious 7, one of the fastest movies to reach $1 billion worldwide in box-office history and the sixth-biggest global title of all time, comes the newest chapter in one of the most popular and enduring motion-picture serials of all time: Fast & Furious 8. 

Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life.  But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before.   

From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.

For Fast & Furious 8, Vin Diesel is joined by a returning all-star cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell.  In addition to Theron, the series welcomes newcomers Scott Eastwood and Oscar®winner Helen Mirren.  The film is directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) and produced by returning producers Neal H. Moritz, Michael Fottrell and Diesel.
