Singer Taylor Swift has announced that her new single "Safe and Sound," featuring The Civil Wars, will be part of The Hunger Games official motion picture soundtrack -- and you can download it now on iTunes. (You can listen to it here, just click the video in the sidebar to your left!)

Swift shared an image of the single "cover" last night to her Twitter followers after making the official announcement -- and the hashtag #SafeandSound quickly became a major trending topic on the social networking site. 

The song features lyrics such as:

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be all right
No one can hurt you now

The lyrics (transcriped via DWTC) are quite reminiscent of the exchange between Katniss and Rue, during (spoiler alert) Rue's death scene. Or perhaps it could be a quiet moment between Katniss and Peeta. What scene do you think the song could be featured in?
