Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s chemistry in Anyone But You fed an entire rumour mill about the true nature of their relationship for almost a year, so with the film about to drop on Netflix, we’re ready for it to start all over again.

The Shakespeare adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing hit $219 (£178) million at global box offices and revamped the romcom-styled genre that was so popular in the '90s and early 2000s.

From Natasha Bedingfield’s ‘Unwritten’, a bold choice from the director who also used Natasha’s ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’ in Emma Stone’s 2010 film Easy A, to hiring her Euphoria costar, Dominic Fike. Sydney’s production company has excelled at creating a memorable soundtrack to compliment the light-hearted and fun nature of the film Anyone But You.

What is Ben's song in Anyone But You?

Glen Powell’s character, Ben, uses Natasha Bedingfield’s 2004 hit ‘Unwritten’ as his ‘serenity song’.

The song appears in the film a number of times, including the hilarious and now iconic credit scene where the cast sings it through as an ensemble.

The film’s director Will Gluck spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his decision to use the earworm to thread the narrative together.

"There was debate in my head between that song and another song, and the song... had to have baggage, and maybe people don’t like it, but really, people do love it," he explained."I just needed to give them permission to love it, which is what I did in another movie [Easy A] with another [Natasha Bedingfield] song.

"But when I started playing [Unwritten] and the other song for people, I very quickly realised that everyone knows [Unwritten]. No matter how snarky or how much of a curmudgeon someone might be, you can’t not love that song... So I hope it comes back again, which I’m sure it will after this."

After seeing the effect Saltburn had on Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s ‘Murder On The Dance Floor’, the power of a strong tune in cinema shouldn’t be underestimated.
