Barack Obama appears on Lin-Manuel Miranda's latest song

New York — Former U.S. president Barack Obama appears on a reworked song by Lin-Manuel Miranda originally from the Broadway hit Hamilton.

Released Friday, One Last Time (44 Remix) features Obama reciting a passage from George Washington's farewell address.

The song also features vocals from Tony nominee Christopher Jackson, who played Washington in Hamilton. The track was produced by Grammy-winning gospel singer BeBe Winans and Tony and Grammy winner Alex Lacamoire.

LISTEN TO IT HERE:

Miranda performed his song Alexander Hamilton at the White House in 2009 when Obama was in office. He went on to write Hamilton, which hit Broadway in 2015 and became a cultural phenomenon, winning 11 Tonys, a Pulitzer Prize and a Kennedy Center Honour.

Miranda returned to the White House to perform One Last Time in 2017 in a farewell to Obama.
