One of China's most renowned Chinese vocalists, Gong Linna, has released a new song.

The song itself is the theme for the soon-to-be-released martial arts film "The Assassin" by Taiwan director Hou Hsiao-Hsien.

Gong's husband, German composer Robert Zollitsch, collaborated with her to create the some "Yi Ge Ren Mei You Tong Lei," (一个人没有同类) or literally "A Unique Single."

Gong Linna says she and her husband watched "The Assassin" numerous times before putting the song together.

"In this movie, the main character is so unique that there couldn't be anyone else like him in the world. As such, me and my husband decided to name the song 'A Unique Single'. I could feel an energy and vibe when we started practicing the song. But I had to make sure that I sang it in a calm and somewhat restrained manner, as this is what comes across the most out of the main character."

"The Assassin" stars mainland actress Shu Qi and Taiwan actor Chang Chen.

The film is set to hit mainland theatres on Thursday.
