"The Big Unknown" is a song by the English band Sade released in 2018.[1][2] The song is featured in the motion picture Widows directed by Steve McQueen and centered on four women forced to pull off a robbery to pay a large criminal debt left behind by their late husbands. The film, which was adapted from the UK crime series of the same name, stars Viola Davis, Daniel Kaluuya, and Robert Duvall.[3] Along with the songs by Sade and Nina Simone ("Wild Is the Wind"), the official soundtrack to Widows features an original score written by Hans Zimmer.[4][5]
