Lorde has covered Tears For Fears' classic track 'Everybody Wants To Rule the World' for the upcoming soundtrack to  Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Check out a preview below.

Tears For Fears released the original, bouncy, uplifting track in 1985. Now, the 'Royals' singer Lorde has covered it,  completely turning it on its head, translating it into a dark, brooding, percussion-heavy number that perfectly echoes the post-apocalyptic themes of the film it accompanies.

Listen to Lorde's 'Everybody Wants To Rule the World' below: 

Lorde's cover joins the likes of Sia's massive 'Elastic Heart', featuring The Weeknd, on the soundtrack, and cuts from The National, Coldplay, Santigold and more. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack is due to be released 19 November, 2013.
