People are actually singing it as they leave the theatre!“Over the years ‘Unwritten’ has somehow become an anthem to sing at the top of your lungs.
This makes me the happiest girl in the world as I have always felt that a good pop song is actually something you can belt. Like a good football song!”Director of Anyone But You Will Gluck has previously used Bedingfield’s music in his films before. Most notably, her song ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’ featured in a particularly joyous scene in Easy A.

“Will Gluck put me in [Easy A] years ago, and he got back in touch about ‘Unwritten’,” she said.“He said, ‘it’s a big part of their love story.’ But when I went to the premiere and watched it, I didn’t expect it to be such a part of the movie. The way it’s just exploded online has been amazing. I love it.”NME last spoke to Bedingfield in 2019, where she was quizzed her on her career highlights as part of the ‘Does Rock N’ Roll Kill Braincells?’ series.
