Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer), and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) who were integral but unrecognized figures in the early stages of NASA, eventually helping send John Glenn to space. The song is just one of eight songs that Pharrell, also a producer on the film, has contributed to the project, which holds a special place in his heart, as [he relayed during a Facebook Q&A during the Toronto International Film Festival](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/09/11/pharrell-i-see-victory-hidden-figures-soundtrack "undefined") earlier. “I want all the young girls regardless to what color you are, I want you to see this film and recognize that not only can you do it, but it’s actually already been done,” he said. Listen to “Crave” below and watch the official trailer for _Hidden Figures_ above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4573320/pharell-crave-hidden-figures/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4573320/pharell-crave-hidden-figures/"},"headline":"Pharrell's New Feel-Good Song 'Crave' Is Here to Make Your Heart Swell","datePublished":"2016-11-16T19:52:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:59.810Z","description":"The song is off the upcoming 'Hidden Figures' soundtrack","url":"https://time.com/4573320/pharell-crave-hidden-figures/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Pharrell","film","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9ec4421b0547a0f/6988aec3f887dc31a6e983e9/pharrell-new-song-crave-hidden-figures.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9ec4421b0547a0f/6988aec3f887dc31a6e983e9/pharrell-new-song-crave-hidden-figures.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Grand Opening Of Billionaire Boys Club Flagship In NYC","caption":"Grand Opening Of Billionaire Boys Club Flagship In NYC","creditText":"Dimitrios Kambouris—Getty Images for Billionaire Boy","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4573320/pharell-crave-hidden-figures/","name":"Pharrell's New Feel-Good Song 'Crave' Is Here to Make Your Heart Swell"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"The song is off the upcoming 'Hidden Figures' soundtrack","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4573320/pharell-crave-hidden-figures/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4573320/pharell-crave-hidden-figures/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
