How do you pronounce “宿命”? Google says it is pronounced “しゅくめい“ but I listened it being pronounced as “さだめ“ in a song, which also is “定め”

1I have never heard 宿命 pronounced 「さだめ」. Are you sure you didn't mishear? Context, please. What song? The word 定め can mean 宿命 though. – Eddie Kal Feb 16 '21 at 01:17
