But in the end, after listening to the original version and the refined version, they chose Williams' song 'Getting Started' to be featured as a soundtrack in the movie that stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham.
But that was not all after the episode ended, the series revealed that Blacc recorded Fee's 'Same Blood' after he recorded Williams' 'Getting Started'. Fee was mentored by Shane McAnally, they didn't change much in the song, but made the tune a little more like gospel.
