Someone Great Dance Scene Song
The Song From the Someone Great Trailer Is the Power Anthem We All Need Right Now
If you need a major dose of girl power in your life, then you're in luck. Netflix just dropped a trailer for its new rom-com Someone Great, and if you haven't seen it yet, "great" doesn't begin to describe how promising this movie looks. Starring Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez, Pitch Perfect's Brittany Snow, and She's Gotta Have It's DeWanda Wise, the comedy tells the story of aspiring music journalist Jenny (played by Rodriguez), whose boyfriend of nine years unceremoniously dumps her as soon as she lands her dream job in San Francisco because he's not willing to make long distance work. However, her two BFFs, Blair and Erin (played by Snow and Wise, respectively), are there to help her get over her ex and give her one last crazy weekend in New York City before she moves across the country. Yes, ladies!
And if the song that comes in at 0:35 during the trailer with "Why men great till they gotta be great?" is any indication, this flick is also going to have a killer soundtrack. The song (which will also be featured in an extended dance break in the movie) is by the gorgeous Lizzo, a rapper, singer, and classically trained flautist from Minneapolis who released her debut album, Lizzobangers, in 2013, which was followed by Big Grrrl Small World in 2015. One of her best gifts to the world, however, is definitely her 2017 single (and the best single-girl anthem since Beyoncé's "Single Ladies"), "Truth Hurts."
In the music video, Lizzo is seen marrying herself in a praiseworthy ode to self-love. "You're 'posed to hold me down / But you're holding me back / And that's the sound of me not calling you back," she raps, standing on her own in a wedding dress. Later, she declares, "I put the sing in single / Ain't worried 'bout a ring on my finger," and we couldn't think of a better sentiment to complement Someone Great. After all, relationships come and go, but your dream job at Rolling Stone might only come around once!
Though Lizzo's third album, Cuz I Love You, isn't set to be released until April 19, we've already been given a taste of the album with the single "Juice" and the title song, "Cuz I Love You," and we already can't wait to hear more. Even better: Someone Great will be available to stream on Netflix on the exact same day! Coincidence? Perhaps, but we're here for it.
