Background
[edit]On June 2, 2023, it was announced that Lauv performed the original song called "Steal the Show" that played during Ember and Wade's dates as well as end credits, which was released that day.[1] Early in production, director Peter Sohn, who used one of Lauv's songs as a placeholder, stated "we finally got the chance to work with him, I referenced his music and how we were using it. He captured the beauty [Ember and Wade] saw in each other and how it could be something more. We were so emotional when we first heard his song. It was overwhelming and we feel absolutely indebted to what he gave the film."[2] On writing the song, Lauv sat down with Thomas Newman, who gave him a couple of sounds that he was working with.[3]
