John and his partner, David Furnish, are among the producers of the film and the song will play during the first meeting between the two lead characters, which are lawn ornaments voiced by James McAvoy and Emily Blunt, according to Entertainment Weekly, which carried the report. A Walt Disney Company spokesperson confirmed the report. Lady Gaga have not commented.
