JENNIE has a new solo single and it’s bringing the disco back.“Someone to Hold”is a neo-disco track from the soundtrack of Netflix’s upcoming animated film Steps, and it features everything you’d want in a dance-pop anthem: lush strings, a slapping bass line, and layered vocals that build into something seriously catchy. The song was written and produced by Justin Tranter, who described it as“pure danceable joy inspired by vintage organic dance pop.”
If you’re wondering what Steps is about, it’s a very different take on Cinderella. The story follows a stepsister named Lilith who teams up with Cinderella after the Fairy Godmother’s wand is stolen and the Royal Ball is hijacked. Directors Alyce Tzue and John Ripa explained that“Someone to Hold”represents the sisterhood between Lilith, Cinderella, and Margot, which gives the track an emotional center beyond the dance-floor sparkle. Amy Poehler is among the film’s producers.
Both the Steps soundtrack and the film arrive on November 20, right as JENNIE continues her solo hot streak. Her Tame Impala“Dracula”remix recently hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and this Netflix soundtrack moment should keep her momentum going strong. Are you streaming“Someone to Hold”today or waiting for the full soundtrack on November 20?
