Blake Lively has been passionately promoting her new film ‘It Ends With Us’, wherein she plays the titular role of Lily Bloom. Apart from her acting and the film’s storyline, there’s another thing about the film going viral — its rich soundtrack featuring a Lana Del Rey song and several Taylor Swift songs. And we have Lively to thank for it!
In a recent interview, Lively revealed that she fought to keep a Lana Del Rey song titled ‘Cherry’ in the movie. She also explained why it was important to have the song in the film.
Blake Lively On Using A Lana Del Rey Song In ‘It Ends With Us’
Since the time of ‘Age Of Adaline’, Blake Lively has been a Lana Del Rey fan as it featured one of the artist’s songs, ‘Life Is Beautiful’. Lively has done it again in her latest book adaptation movie ‘It Ends With Us’. In her recent interview, the singer explained why she chose to keep the song in the soundtrack.
“They begged me to take that song out of the movie, I’m not supposed to be talking about this, but because they felt like it was too charged and heavy and things are still good with Ryle,” Lively said in her Hits Radio interview. “And I was like ‘F*ck’. The moment Atlas enters, things are charged and heavy,” she added.
“Like there’s conflict, there’s pain, there’s turmoil, there’s tension, because you’re like ‘Oh my God, my soulmate, the person who got away in life, who’s been haunting me in everything I do and everywhere I go is here now and we still had that connection,’” Lively further explained.
“And you can still be in love with this person and this person comes in and you’re like your insides are gonna be a mess. So that’s why,” she explained.
