The singer also praised the film’s characters, saying, “I love how much heart and personality the characters have, and I’m so happy I got to be a little part of their world. I hope you enjoy Steps and ‘Someone to Hold’ as much as I do and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it!” The single is available now on multiple streaming platforms.
Someone to Hold Leads Dance-Focused Soundtrack
Songwriter and producer Justin Tranter described the track as the centerpiece of the film’s musical approach. “The story in Steps lends itself beautifully to a variety of voices and sonics, and the main throughline in the soundtrack is dance music,” Tranter said. “Jennie’s ‘Someone to Hold’ is pure danceable joy.”
The Steps soundtrack is available to pre-order as an exclusive two-disc vinyl from Diggers Factory and to pre-save on digital platforms.
