Just being in the presence of Beyoncé is likely to be an insane experience, but imagine having to sing opposite the superstar.

Donald Glover opened up about that during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he joked about being nervous to sing the pair’s cover of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”

“I did not want to be looking in Beyoncé’s eyes while doing this,” he told Kimmel while rocking a lion suit.

Disney recently shared a sneak peek of the pair singing the iconic song, which Beyoncé followed up on Tuesday with “Spirit,” a track from new album The Lion King: The Gift.

Glover also dished to Kimmel about working on Atlanta‘s third season, which has been delayed due to Glover’s busy schedule.

“I think my contract says I have to say yes. I am working on Atlanta right now.”
