\u201cI\u2019m waiting for the call, just like you! You\u2019re gonna find out when I do, so we\u2019ll chat then,\u201d she told E! News<\/a> on the red carpet for Heidi Klum\u2019s Halloween bash, where she dressed up as Zoey from the opening scene of the film.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/p>\n Speaking to the ubiquity of the project \u2014 about a powerhouse K-pop girl group that must defeat a rival boy band of demons intent on taking over the world \u2014 especially for children\u2019s Halloween costumes, the musician said, \u201cIt\u2019s everywhere, I can\u2019t get a break from it, oh my goodness \u2026 And I\u2019m not complaining, please! I wanna see more.\u201d<\/p>\n Ami added that she still hasn\u2019t processed the popularity of the film, which has broken records for both the streamer \u2014 becoming the most popular film it\u2019s released<\/a> \u2014 and for its original soundtrack, which has matched records<\/a> set by such artists as Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a cultural phenomenon. The records, the headlines \u2014 it\u2019s absolutely unprecedented. [I\u2019m] so honored and in awe, and I think I\u2019m just truly humbled by the power of music and good art and how it can really, truly \u2014 it sounds so clich\u00e9 \u2014 change the world,\u201d she reflected. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what this film and this soundtrack did, and it brought so much hope and light in[to] such a dim, grim world, so I am absolutely honored and privileged to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Alongside Ami, Audrey Nuna and Ejae provided the vocals for the fictional group Huntr\/x.
