American actor and musician Jeremy Renner is gearing up to release his first song "Wait" from his upcoming album "Love and Titanium" on January 1.
Renner has been busy writing music as well as working hard to get back on his feet following his near-fatal snow plow accident.
The Marvel star was hospitalized for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries at the start of January after his Sno-Cat, a large snow plow that weighs at least 14,330 pounds, ran him over.
He was trying to help his nephew out of the snow near his home in Lake Tahoe when the Sno-Cat crushed him. His injuries included eight ribs broken in 14 places, a right knee and ankle broken, a left leg tibia broken, a left ankle broken, a right clavicle broken, a right shoulder broken, and more.
Renner announced that his first album, "Love and Titanium", was forthcoming back in October, writing, "A collection of music we wrote about different milestones in my journey of recovery since Jan 1st this year. Love and Titanium has been painful, deeply healing, and ultimately cathartic for me to create. I hope I get the courage to share with you all."

Two months later, Renner revealed that his album's first single, "Wait," would be released on New Year's Day, the first anniversary of his accident. He additionally teased that the song would tell the "story of life, death, recovery, all things learned along the way."

Shortly thereafter, fans heard a snippet of the track for the first time. As clips, both throwback and recent, play of Renner with his 10-year-old daughter, Ava, he sings about the complexities of life.
"I know that I'm complicated / I don't have a lot to say / Maybe I'm uncomfortable / A little unpredictable sometimes / Whatever it's worth / I know it hurts / You are the ocean and I am the Earth," Renner sings.

In March, the Hawkeye star sat down for a candid interview with Diane Sawyer, where he spoke for the first time about the accident and the aftermath.
"I chose to survive, this is not going to kill me," he declared. "... I've lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I've been refueled and refilled with love and titanium."
