The pop star will have a new song in the beloved YA franchise's upcoming film, 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes.'
Olivia Rodrigo's "Can't Catch Me Now" Promises Another GoodSteffanee WangIt’s been a while since the world was blessed with a genuinely great blockbuster YA movie soundtrack. The 2010s were rife with them with The Twilight Saga and the original Hunger Games series, but little else has truly stuck with pop culture since. Perhaps it makes sense then that the new upcoming Hunger Games movie — a prequel to the beloved series — would be the one to pump some life back into the genre.
Rodrigo’s “Can’t Catch Me Now” officially arrives Friday, Nov. 3, but a snippet of the emotional guitar ballad is available to hear now in a brand new trailer. Over plucked guitar production by Dave Cobb, the exectuive prodcuer behind the film’s soundtrack, Rodrigo’s voice soars into the treetops as she wails the lyric, “Come in like a storm into your town.
The upcoming soundtrack will have some big shoes to fill considering one of the previous Hunger Game soundtracks, forwas hand-curated by Lorde herself and arrived with colossal hits like “Yellow Flicker Beat.” That soundtrack was also filled with a roster of artists that feels nearly impossible today and Arcade Fire , whilefeatured a star-studded lineup of The Weeknd, Christina Aguilera, Coldplay, and more.
The film centers around a Hunger Games set 64 years before the original series and follows a young Coriolanus Snow, who’s been assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a tribute from the District 12. Baird, played by Rachel Zegler , will turn out to be the originator of the series’ famous song “The Hanging Tree.” Zegler’s rendition of the track, a slow haunting retelling, has already been released and is going viral on TikTok. The film hits theaters on Nov. 17.
