Ariana Grande is one step closer to becoming a Disney princess after collaborating with John Legend on the soundtrack for Beauty and the Beast.

The power pop duo duet on a new version of 'Beauty and the Beast', the Oscar-winning song created by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman for the 1991 animated film.

The Grande and Legend version will feature in the upcoming live-action film starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, set for release in March.

This week, both singers took to social media to give fans a peek inside their recording booth for the song.

'Beauty and the Beast' was sung by Angela Lansbury in the animated film and performed by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson on the soundtrack. In addition to the Academy Award, it also won a Golden Globe and a Grammy.

The latest trailer for the 2017 film gives a taste of another song, 'Belle (Reprise)', and what to expect from Watson's singing voice.
