Music icons Kanye West and Paul McCartney, have teamed up in an unlikely collaboration on a new single.

Released on New Year's Day 'Only One' which is what 'Kanye' actually means, was inspired by West's daughter North.

The soft ballad features the vocals of the world-famous rapper and former Beatle McCartney on the organ.

According to a statement from West's label Def Jam recordings, the lullaby-like collaboration has been in the works since early 2014, when the two met in Los Angeles.

This is the first time the duo have worked together on a song.

The single will be available on iTunes in 119 countries for one week.
