Actor Stephanie Hsu is set to perform the Academy Award-nominated song “This Is a Life,” from A24’s hit film “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” at the awards show next month, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Monday.

Hsu, who was nominated for best performance by an actress in a supporting role for the film, will step in for the song’s original singer, Mitski, on March 12. She’ll perform alongside the music trio Son Lux and the award-winning singer, songwriter and Talking Heads lead singer David Byrne.

The song, written by Byrne and Son Lux frontman Ryan Lott, was nominated for best original song. Son Lux was also nominated for best original score for the film.

Son Lux shared their excitement on Twitter and said they’re grateful that Mitski gave Hsu her blessing. “Grateful for @mitskileaks’ blessing for Stephanie to perform in her place,” they tweeted.

Other nominees are Lady Gaga and BloodPop’s “Hold My Hand,” from “Top Gun: Maverick”; Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up,” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”; Diane Warren’s “Applause,” from “Tell It Like a Woman”, and Chandrabose and M.M. Keeravaani’s “Naatu Naatu,” from “RRR.”
