Jennie's 'Someone to Hold' for Netflix's 'Steps' is out now
BLACKPINK's Jennie has released 'Someone to Hold,' her first animated-film soundtrack song, for Netflix's upcoming movie 'Steps,' with the official audio live on Netflix Music's YouTube channel.
Jennie's first animated-film soundtrack song is streaming. Netflix Music's official YouTube channel has published 'JENNIE | Someone to Hold (from "Steps") | Official Soundtrack | Netflix,' and Billboard, Film Music Reporter and UPI all reported on November 6 that the track is out now for Netflix's upcoming animated film 'Steps.'
Film Music Reporter said Netflix Music released 'Someone to Hold' as the first soundtrack cut, with the full album — including more songs and Kris Bowers' score — due November 20, the same day 'Steps' arrives on Netflix. Billboard described the song as light-on-its-feet neo-disco with strings, bass and layered vocals, and published lyric lines from the chorus.
Writing credits differ slightly by outlet: Film Music Reporter lists Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels and Jason Gill, matching The Asia Business Daily's earlier OA Entertainment-sourced credit, while Billboard and Rolling Stone highlight Tranter's role as writer/producer. Rolling Stone and Billboard also quote the filmmakers and Jennie on the track's sisterhood theme. Korean outlets CHOSUNBIZ and Newsis, citing OA Entertainment, framed the release as her first animation OST and noted the song's Hollywood Music in Media Awards Song – Animated Film nomination before release.
