I don't think the significance of what the song did for me or how it made me feel would be shifted if nobody else felt like that.
But it's so wonderful that it's grown into other people's lives as well.
I'm quite instinctive like that.
And I was really flattered.
So I just wrote back straight away, yeah, sure, I'm in.
And I remember thinking, oh, Emerald Fennell, I've heard of her.
I've seen her last film, Promising Young Woman.
I thought it was very stylish.
I thought it was very cool.
I'm very flattered that she wants to use murder.
But I was also a bit pinch of salt with it because sometimes people might ask permission and then they're in the process of editing and they might decide that where they wanted to place it or how they wanted to use it.
It's not worked.
It doesn't actually make sense.
So I was like, ah, that's nice.
Did not think about it.
A year later...
there starts to be this bubbling about the soundtrack and about the film and the song in the film.
It's a good example of something I've always believed to be true, which is that whatever you do in your working life, I think you have to love it for the smallest version of it and don't do anything thinking, I will only love this decision if it pays dividends.
So true.
Because it doesn't work.
