Billboard found up with Joy Williams and John Paul White of the Civil Wars at the Grammys on Sunday, where they discussed working with Swift and the song's creator, T Bone Burnett.

The tune was launched back in December and has since actually peaked at No. 30 on the Hot 100. Swift adds another tune to the soundtrack, named "Eyes Wide Open."
"Safe & Sound" is the lead-off tune from the "Hunger Games" soundtrack, with lowers March 20. The movie, based on the publication sequence by Suzanne Collins, visits cinemas March 23.
