In the sequel, inventor Flint Lockwood returns to the Swallow Falls to save the world again.
The film is directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn with a screenplay by Erica Rivinoja and John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein. It is inspired by the book 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' written by Judi Barrett and illustrated by Ron Barrett.
"I loved watching the first film with my kids, so I'm very happy to have my new song included in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2," McCartney said.
"We're thrilled and honored to have Paul's infectious and inspiring song in the film. The sequence in the film is about Flint Lockwood optimistically beginning what he thinks will be a new and exciting chapter in his life, so as soon as we heard 'New' we thought that everything about it was perfect," Lia Vollack, president of Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures said in a statement.
