It seems to be very much in her DNA-it’s about justice for all. I think it speaks to the fact that audiences will really respond to this movie, if they happen to be like me and weren’t as aware of this, to see the seeds of Billie Jean take root, in terms of her determination about making change in her industry, and her effortless and soulful pursuit of being an advocate for others. Was Billie Jean King’s story familiar to either of you beforehand?īareilles: I’m embarrassed to say, but I didn’t even know anything about this event at all. To then have it presented to me in a way where there was lots of room for collaboration… It was like, “Here’s a suggestion for what we could see living in this space, now see what you want to do with it.” Getting to be a part of something that was speaking to Billie Jean King’s story and her legacy was especially interesting to me, contextualized in the way the world feels, and wanting to really speak to women’s issues. I immediately was moved by the film, and the score is absolutely beautiful. Then, I saw the movie-it’s beautiful, and the performances are really honest. I’m a big fan of Nick’s work, and Jon and Val have an amazing legacy already in what they do in film, and in music video-that’s how I first got to know their work. It was a yes for me immediately, even before I’d seen the film. Sara Bareilles: My writing collaborator on the musical I’ve been working on happens to be next-door neighbors with Jon and Val, which felt like a cosmic nod.
Sara, what compelled you to take part in this project? The key for me, musically, was that I really wanted Sara to respond to the material, and bring her own musical sensitivity and thought process to it. Then, we started working together in the summer, and some of those ideas were really just a starting point, if anything. Had you finished the score by the time you set to working on your original song?īritell: I had finished the score early in the year, and actually made a demo idea of what a song might be like, threading some of the themes.

There was this idea of, what if we took themes from the movie and figured out a way to turn that into a song? Honestly, from early on, we were like, “Would ever Sara Bareilles be interested?” I’m such a huge fan of Sara’s music, so Jon and Val reached out, and it all came together from there. Nicholas Britell: When I was scoring the film with Jon and Val, we had this dream of having an original song for the movie that felt like it was evolving from the movie itself.
