Noah Kahan unveiled his contribution to the upcoming film The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping with the single “Draw You Out,” released at midnight on Oct. 2, 2026, according to Rolling Stone and Billboard.

What happened

The track is the first single lifted from the official soundtrack for the film. It was made available for streaming on the same day it was announced. The song will be included on the soundtrack album, scheduled for release on Nov. 13, 2026, via MCA.

What the reports add

Rolling Stone notes that the song joins a lineage of Hunger Games soundtrack hits that includes Taylor Swift’s “Safe & Sound” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Can’t Catch Me Now.” Billboard adds that Kahan recorded the song with Aaron Dessner, who co‑wrote and co‑produced it at Long Pond Studio in New York and at Nashville’s Gold Pacific and East Iris Studios.

What was said

Rolling Stone quoted Kahan’s social‑media post: “This is something I’ve always wanted to do and I am so grateful for the opportunity to write for this moving film, having adored the works of art by Suzanne Collins.” Billboard reported that Kahan described the track as “reflective, moody and ready for battle” and highlighted lyrics such as “I was born with someone else’s face / A coward’s anger and a fighter’s rage.”

How it came about

Kahan, a self‑professed fan of Suzanne Collins’ novels, said the story’s “tragic yet hopeful” tone inspired the song. His collaboration with Dessner, known for work with indie‑folk acts, marks a continuation of Kahan’s rise after the 2022 hit “Stick Season.”
