Christina has worked on a new song titled Loyal Brave True for Disney’s live adaptation of Mulan, and she compared herself to the titling character.

“Being a warrior and a fighter is what has been the thread throughout all the music in my career, so to now be bringing that to light once again in such a beautiful film is so amazing, nostalgic, and very meant to be,” she explains.
