The Promising Young Woman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack dropped on December 4th, featuring artists such as Charli XCX, Paris Hilton, MUNA, and many more. Among these, the American singer and songwriter, Cari Elise Fletcher (known as FLETCHER), is also featured with her single "Last Laugh".
This single is also accompanied by a powerful, confidence-exuding music video featuring FLETCHER singing what she describes as "an aggressive anthem and tongue-in-cheek threat to all that the fight is not over until the abusive men laughing at our expense are laughing no more.”
The single captures the adrenaline and empowering sentiment that the trailer and synopsis of the movie give you. There is high energy which is uplifted by the pulsating beat that drives the verses and the dark and gritty synth distorted chorus, representing the will of a person who has not given up yet.
The song, fitting to its name, contains humor sprinkled throughout its duration. This message is also shown through her lyrics, such as in the pre-chorus where she states that her "revenge is sweeter than honey" or in her second verse:
"Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
Nah, it's me in your dreams
Or maybe call 'em nightmares, ah, ah"
The lyrics clearly keep in line with the overall theme of Promising Young Woman, a film that tells a story of revenge after a mysterious event uproots a young woman's path in life. The music video follows her in through a desert during different times of the day with varying attires, while she delivers bold lyrics with an assertive demeanor and a that "IDGAF" attitude that makes fans go bonkers for her.
In addition to FLETCHER, the 16-track soundtrack also features Charli XCX, Cyn, Donna Missal, DeathbyRomy, MUNA, Paris Hilton, Sky Ferreira, Carmen DeLeon, Lily & Madeleine, Juice Newton, and Anthony Willis.
This soundtrack is a must for FLETCHER fans and new listeners interested in strong, sexy, and proud artists who influence thousands through music. Furthermore, make sure to keep an eye out for "Promising Young Woman"!
