One of Doja Cat's is going to be part of a big motion picture.

This is immediately following her spectacular Coachella performance over the previous two weekends of the music festival.

Her song "Vegas" will be included on the soundtrack for the upcoming film "Elvis," which will be released on May 6, per Music News.

While this is going to be an original song, fans of the singer will be able to hear certain interpolations of Elvis Presley's song, "Hound Dog" and even "Viva Las Vegas" in the track.

However, fans will have to wait until the final studio version is released before they can hear the final version.

The film, which will be released in theaters on June 24, will star Austin Butler as Elvis Presley and Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker, who was a significant figure in the music icon's life.

Baz Luhrmann directed the biopic.

With the exception of the collaborations, the original soundtrack will be released throughout the summer by RCA. Details regarding the collaborations are still being kept under wraps.

In addition, according to Variety, the album will contain many versions of Elvis Presley's songs, with contributions from a variety of musicians representing a variety of musical styles.

He will be represented by an exceptional collection of music on the soundtrack, which will range from the 1950s through the 1970s, as per a press statement.

It is hoped that the soundtrack will boost streaming figures for the rock star's back catalog, just like the 2018 Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" did for the "We are the Champions" hitmakers.

Elvis Presley's catalog is owned by Universal Music Publishing Group.

"Elvis Presley has had an exceptional and enduring worldwide effect on music and pop culture," stated Marc Cimino, Chief Operating Officer of the UMPG.

"Jody Gerson and I, as well as the rest of UMPG's global teams, could not be more thrilled and humbled to be working with ABG to ensure that Elvis' iconic legacy is preserved for future generations."

Coachella performer Doja Cat recently played "Vegas" for the first time as part of her show.

At the age of 42, Elvis Presley died unexpectedly of a heart attack in 1977, following a long battle with substance abuse.

During the course of his career, he was also able to sell more than 500 million albums worldwide as well.
