\n\t\u201cI am so excited to join the Steps family and it was really fun making my first song for an animated film,\u201d JENNIE comments in a statement issued this morning. \u201cI love how much heart and personality the characters have, and I\u2019m so happy I got to be a little part of their world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSomeone to Hold\u201d is written and produced by Justin Tranter, who also wrote and produced three more original songs for the film\u2019s official soundtrack, one each for Steps co-star Amanda Seyfried<\/a>, U.K. pop artist Rose Gray, and Atlantic Records-signed Chinese-American alt-pop singer-songwriter<\/a> Emei<\/a>, with a score by Academy Award-winner Kris Bowers<\/a> (Bridgerton). Its voice cast also features Ali Wong, Stephanie Hsu, Nikki Glaser, Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino, Peter Dinklage and Bette Midler.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI hope you enjoy Steps and \u2018Someone to Hold\u2019 as much as I do, and I can\u2019t wait for you guys to hear it,\u201d enthuses JENNIE, who is coming off her biggest hit as a solo artist with her guest work on Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d remix, which went to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> and No. 2 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, Steps takes the tale of Cinderella in a different direction. According to a statement, Cinderella\u2019s \u201cevil\u201d stepsisters Lilith (Ali Wong) steals the magic wand belonging to the Fairy Godmother (Bette Midler) and hijacks the Royal Ball with Margot (Stephanie Hsu). Enter Priscilla (Nikki Glaser), a \u201cvillainous schemer who swoops in and snatches the throne.\u201d With Priscilla in charge, consider the party over. And the happily-ever-after ending ruined.<\/p>\n

\n\tRealizing her terrible move, Lilith must join forces with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried) in an epic quest, with battles royale and friendships forged along the way.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe story in Steps lends itself beautifully to a variety of voices and sonics, and the main throughline in the soundtrack is dance music,\u201d explains Tranter. \u201cSomeone to Hold\u201d is \u201cpure danceable joy inspired by vintage organic dance pop,\u201d he continues, while EMEI\u2019s \u201cThe Understudy\u201d is \u201can underdog anthem hidden in a French electro house Trojan horse.\u201d Gray\u2019s \u201cMeet Me on the Dance Floor\u201d is a \u201cmodern electro dance pop, and the only villain song in animated film history that you could easily hear at a 3AM warehouse rave.\u201d The sole exception is Seyfried\u2019s \u201cSmile and a Song.\u201d Expect from the Golden Globe Award winner \u201can old school musical theater banger about someone trying to heal the whole world when she really needs to heal herself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSteps is produced by Amy Poehler, Jane Hartwell, Kim Lessing, with Poehler and Lessing producing for Paper Kite Productions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe companion soundtrack arrives Nov. 20, the same day as Steps rolls out on Netflix. Pre-save Steps here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
