Janelle Monáe is putting her fingerprints on a Disney classic.

The soundtrack to the new live-action version of the O.G. animated film Lady and the Tramp (1955) arrived today as part of the massive Disney+ rollout, and Monáe plays a large part in the movie’s music. In addition to her jazzed-up version of “He’s a Tramp,” she soundtracks the flick with the song “What a Shame”—an update on the sinister “Siamese Cat Song”—which was penned and produced by Wondaland’s Nate “Rocket” Wonder and Roman GianArthur. She also collaborated with the pair on an original tune called “That’s Enough.”
