DuVernay announced that Sade would make an appearance on the soundtrack for the movie in February.
"I never thought she'd say yes, but asked anyway," DuVernay tweeted Feb. 20. "She was kind and giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I'll never forget. Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for 'Wrinkle in Time.' It's entitled 'Flower of the Universe' and it's a dream come true."
