lauv steal the show

"Steal The Show" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lauv, created for the soundtrack of Pixar's 2023 animated film "Elemental." The song was written in collaboration with the film's composer Thomas Newman and songwriter Michael Matosic. It plays during the montage of the main characters Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple's dates as well as over the film's end credits. It was released as a single on June 2, 2023, just before the film's release. The song captures the emotional beauty of the characters' relationship and has a feel-good vibe that complements the film's theme. Lauv described the writing process as very spontaneous and in-the-moment, where he freestyled melodies and lyrics after watching the movie scene. The film's director, Peter Sohn, expressed deep appreciation for Lauv's contribution, highlighting how the song emotionally enhanced the story. "Steal The Show" combines Lauv's signature airy pop style with electro-pop production and was praised for being a winning track with potential for radio play. It charted in various countries, including South Korea and New Zealand, and is part of the official "Elemental" soundtrack released by Walt Disney Records. This song represents a collaboration between a modern pop artist and a legendary film composer to create a piece that resonates with both the movie's narrative and audience.
