The 'Rush Hour' actor spent three hours recording 'We Are Ready', the official countdown tune for the games, which take place in the Chinese city next summer.
Chan - who recorded the song during a recent trip to Beijing - said he was impressed with the song's lyrics, which were composed by Peter Kam.
The words include: "Waiting year after year/ We can see into the future/ Together with hard work and sweat, we've created the five different (Olympic) colours."
Chan - who was born in Hong Kong - recently revealed his excitement at attending an event to mark the one-year countdown to the start of the Games.
He said: "During this public appearance, I actually had goose bumps on my arms. The ceremony made me very emotional and I said to myself, 'That's our China, that's our day!'
"I felt this moment belonged to our China, this moment belonged to us."
