"We've been sitting on the news for a while and have been dying to tell people," said Kieran. "The song is piano and voice-based and it's intentionally stripped down. Neil wrote the piano part and I started writing the lyrics over the top. We recorded it at Neil's house and the whole process only took a few weeks.
"We've got some champagne ready for when we actually see the film. We've already done lots of celebrating with family and friends."
They believe their song will feature around halfway through the film.
"When Breaking Dawn Part 1 came out on Blu Ray, there was an exclusive clip on You Tube of the new film, Part 2, and our song was used on that and it's already been seen by 40,000,000 people," said Kieran.
Their track will feature alongside more globally recognised acts such as Green Day, Ellie Goulding and Christina Perri.
Another one of Iko's tracks, Dazed and Confused, is to feature in the new series of American drama Grey's Anatomy.
