The song is part of a collaborative album made by ElevenLabs, an AI company.
Liza Minnelli is using her voice -- yes, her own, non-computer-generated voice -- to defend the use of AI on her new song.
The EGOT-winning legend, 79, put out the EDM song "Kids Wait Till You Hear This" earlier this week as part of a collaborative album spearheaded by ElevenLabs, an AI audio research and deployment company.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Jan. 21, Minnelli shared her excitement for the release, and clarified that while the song does use AI arrangements, all vocals heard on the track are entirely her own.
"Hi Kids, I'm happy as a clam, laughing like hell and losing my mind! It's all goin' on at the time," she wrote. "What I will not allow this great company to do? Create, clone or copy my voice! A few trolls didn't bother to read the truth, check with me or my partners. The shout outs are all mine!"
She went on to encourage fans to dance their hearts out to the tune, which marks her first new music release since she recorded a song for an episode of the NBC series Smash in 2013.
"Go listen, enjoy, and shake your pretty buns to the music, as we glide down the runway to send my book into the world and your very own hot hands," she wrote.
The song's title shares a name with Minnelli's forthcoming memoir, which is set for release on March 10 and promises to tell the star's "fascinating, untold story."
In a press release, ElevenLabs called the compilation album -- titled Eleven Album -- a "landmark musical release created in collaboration with world-class artists and powered by Eleven Music."
In addition to the Cabaret star, there are songs from artists like Art Garfunkel, writer and producer Patrick Patrikios, country singer Emily Falvey and rapper IAMSU!
In a statement, Minnelli said she was drawn to the project because she was interested in "using my voice and new tools in service of expression, not instead of it."
"This project respects the artist's voice, the artist's choices, and the artist's ownership," she said. "I grew up watching my parents create wonderful dreams that were owned by other people. ElevenLabs makes it possible for anyone to be a creator and owner. That matters."
Minnelli's parents, Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, will be part of her forthcoming memoir, which will chronicle the highs and lows of her storied career, as well as her personal life, including high-profile marriages and struggles with substance abuse disorder.
"I wasn't going to tell this story, until I realized, maybe I'm still alive because I have a responsibility to help people like me, whose brains are wired differently," she told PEOPLE in 2024. "I work on recovery every day. Let's stop the shame."
