I See You (Theme from Avatar)
"I See You (Theme from ''Avatar'')" (also referred to as "I See You") is the official theme song recorded by British singer Leona Lewis for the 2009 film ''Avatar'', directed by James Cameron, and its accompanying soundtrack (2009). It was written by James Horner and Kuk Harrell, with production done by Simon Franglen. A pop inspired ballad, the lyrics, which reflect the story line of the film, are about love, emotion and power. The song received multiple comparisons to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", which is the official theme song written by Horner for film directed by Cameron, ''Titanic'' (1997). Lewis has performed the song on ''So You Think You Can Dance'' and ''The Today Show'', and it was included on the set list of her debut concert tour, The Labyrinth (2010). It peaked at number 47 on the Irish Singles Chart and number 24 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.
==Background==
"I See You" was written by James Horner and Kuk Harrell and produced by Simon Franglen as the official theme song to James Cameron's 2009 film, ''Avatar''.〔〔 It is the second time that Horner and Franglen have collaborated on a theme song for a film directed by Cameron, the first being "My Heart Will Go On", performed by Celine Dion and used for his 1997 film ''Titanic''.〔 In an interview with Rick Edwards for 4Music called ''Under the Skin of Leona Lewis'', Lewis explained how she became involved with ''Avatar'' and recording the theme tune. The singer said that she had known about the project for some period of time as she is very interested in film in general, and that she was approached by Cameron to record ''Avatar''s official theme song.〔 She continued to say that she was very excited about seeing the film, even before her involvement with the film came to be.〔 Cameron invited Lewis to listen to what they had in mind for the song, and upon hearing it, she "immediately wanted to be on board."〔 One of the reasons Lewis gave as to why she accepted the proposal was that a lot of her second studio album, ''Echo'' (2009), was inspired by various films, and she thought it would be a great opportunity to appear on a soundtrack.〔
She described being personally shown how the film was being made by Cameron as one of the highlights of being involved with the film.〔 According to Lewis, recording the song required a lot of power in her vocal performance, and that she had to emotionally connect with the song in order to sing it. "I See You" serves as the song which plays during the closing credits of the film.〔 Cameron had intended to have "I See You" released as single, as he thought it was capable of matching the success of Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", however Lewis expressed her reluctancy in the choice as she had only released the lead single from ''Echo'', "Happy", the month before. A reviewer for ''The Sun'' reported that "Leona was delighted to be part of Avatar but the song was never supposed to be released. But her cover of "Run" wasn't meant to be released either — and look how well that did."〔
