Sting, who was also nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar Award, performed at the 76th Annual Academy Awards ceremony with Alison Krauss. Sting and Krauss sang "You Will Be My Ain True Love" as a duet, though Krauss sings the song solo on the Cold Mountain soundtrack.
Sting told LAUNCH that he never regretted not singing the song in the movie himself: "I wrote it for the female character," Sting said. "In other words, it's the sort of unspoken song that brings the Inman character back from hell, back to her, and so it was always a woman's song. Alison did a beautiful job on it--very plaintive and haunting."
