The Rush Hour actor spent three hours recording We Are Ready, the official countdown tune for the games, which take place in the Chinese city next summer.
Chan – who recorded the song during a recent trip to Beijing – said he was impressed with the song’s lyrics, which were composed by Peter Kam.
The words include: “Waiting year after year/ We can see into the future/Together with hard work and sweat, we’ve created the five different (Olympic) colours.”
Chan – who was born in Hong Kong – recently revealed his excitement at attending an event to mark the one-year countdown to the start of the Games.
He said: “During this public appearance, I actually had goose bumps on my arms. The ceremony made me very emotional and I said to myself, ‘That’s our China, that’s our day!’
“I felt this moment belonged to our China, this moment belonged to us.”
