Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted that she never wanted the song from her new movie to be released as a single.

The Oscar winning actress takes on the role of struggling singer in Country Strong and admits that she was taken a back when it was suggested that the song should be released.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly the actress said: "What the hell? I was just singing songs for the movie.

"I think the original plan was they wanted the bona fide crew to re-sing our songs, and then when [Sony Music Nashville chair] Joe Galante heard it, he was like, ‘No, I want to release this as the single'. I was like, ‘Excuse me please? What? What is going on?’"

This is the second single release that Paltrow has enjoyed after releasing Crusin, a duet with Huey Lewis, from the movie Duets.

Country Strong sees Paltrow star alongside Garrett Hedlund and Tim McGraw and will be released later this year, it will be her first movie since Iron Man 2 earlier this summer.

She is also set to star alongside Matt Damon, Kate Winslet and Jude Law in Contagion which will be directed by Steven Soderbergh.
