So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.
Trailer Song of Anyone But You Soundtrack
- Death of Me Song by WizTheMc: Death of Me is a song by WIZTHEMC from the album Death of Me, released in 2023.
I hate the way that I love you, and I need you. I don’t want to, but I want you. Yeah, I wouldn’t say I like the way that you are. Let’s tell everyone we’re together.
What? It could be fun. There’s no way we can convince anyone we like each other. Trust me. We’re at a wedding a million miles away from home.
Who knows what could happen? You’ll be the death of me. Convincing enough? I wouldn’t say I like the way that I love you.
Who Composed Anyone But You?
The film’s original score was written by Este Haim — of the sister rock band HAIM, and previously a composer on Cha Cha Real Smooth and You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah — together with Christopher Stracey, whose other credits include Fingernails, Manodrome, and War Pony. The score was released as an 11-track digital album by Madison Gate Records on December 22, 2023, the same day as the film. A number of the score’s short, punchy cue titles — like “Starry Eyed and Falling in Love” and “I Hear a Symphony” — happen to share names with unrelated songs by other artists, which is very likely why earlier versions of this article incorrectly credited them to acts like Ellie Goulding, Roger Waters, Billie Eilish, and The Supremes. They are, in fact, all original instrumental score cues written for this film.
