will.i.am blasts off with his new single “Reach for the Stars (Mars Edition).” The triumphant tune sounds like the score for a movie with a big symphonic intro and ad-libs from Lil Jon.

“Why do they say the sky is the limit when I seen them footprints on the moon?” asks an Auto-Tuned will, while a chorus of children sings the empowering hook.

The Black Eyed Peas frontman has teamed up with NASA to broadcast the song from the surface of Mars via the Curiosity rover at 1 p.m. PST today.

His star-studded solo album #willpower is rumored to feature collaborations with Rihanna, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, and more.
