Below, check out an emoji of 'It's The Hard Knock Life' from the upcoming film ANNIE, based on the Broadway musical. 

Academy Award® nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz). But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) – advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) – makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.

The cast of the musical comedy includes Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhané Wallis, Rose ByrneBobby Cannavale
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, David Zayas and Cameron Diaz.

The film is directed by Will Gluck with a screenplay by Gluck and Aline Brosh McKenna based on the musical stage play "Annie". Book by Thomas Meehan, Music by Charles Strouse, Lyrics by Martin Charnin
