The song is being released by R&B singer Keisha White - the original singer for the TV series theme, which was first heard in 2002.
Speaking to Newsround, Dani explained that she and co-star Emma Maggie Davies who plays her daughter in My Mum Tracy Beaker will both appear in the video: Keisha White gave birth to a beautiful baby literally days ago, so isn t able to appear in the video, she said.
Drag Race superfan, and that it has helped her deal with some serious issues.
On her “obsession” with drag, Harmer said she was “definitely a drag queen in a previous life”, and explained: “I think I found it at a time when I just needed a bit of escapism, I needed to get out of my own head for a minute.
“I suffer with depression and anxiety, and I kind of go up and down with it all the time. I discovered
RuPaul’s Drag Race on Netflix, just per chance, was like, ‘This is exactly what I need, I need some joy’… Straight away, I was in.”

As Tracy Beaker, Dani Harmer has played one of the most iconic roles in children s TV for nearly two decades.
CBBC says her most recent three-part series, My Mum Tracy Beaker, has been its most successful programme launch ever.
But Dani says abusive online comments she s received about her appearance has taken some of the shine off its success. It shouldn t affect me but I m a human being, she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
Although she says the overwhelming majority of opinions have been positive, a small minority are horrible and are the ones she thinks about when she goes to bed.
