​Cee Lo Green releases single called "Robin Williams"

Cee Lo Green pays tribute to the late Robin Williams with his new single, which surfaced Friday.

"'Robin Williams' is a homage to our humanity centered (on) the strength it takes to smile in the face of adversity," he said in a statement.

The track, simply titled "Robin Williams," features lyrics like "we don't know what the next man's going through" and "Life reminds me of Robin Williams / We've got to laugh the pain away."

The single references Williams, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Philip Seymour Hoffman and other late stars.

Green introduced the song via an interactive music video, which illustrates the lyrics with Google search results. It allows you to watch as the song's lyrics are typed into the Google search bar while simultaneously letting you click between Google, Google Images, Google Shopping and Google Videos.

It's expected to appear on Green's new album, "Heart Blanche," due out Nov. 13.

It's been almost a year since Williams' death on Aug. 11, 2014.
