While everything is fair in love and war, when war is swapped for laughter, the only fair play is Lewis Capaldi. Known for curating some of the most memorable love anthems of the decade, Capaldi’s musical brilliance also graced the most romantic spot of 2024 in It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively. Though many would think it was Capaldi who was humbled by the opportunity to feature the highly anticipated rom-com return of the year, in a twist of events, it turned out to be the 36-year-old actress who was honored instead.

Lively recently highlighted how crucial the love anthem is to the storyline of It Ends With Us, making it clear that Capaldi was the final missing piece needed to complete this blockbuster.

Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi's track 'Love The Hell Out of You' has been chosen as the lead song for the highly anticipated Sony Pictures rom-com It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively. Co-written by Capaldi, the song is from the 2023 album ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent.’ Commenting on the choice of this track for the defining entry in the 2024 rom-com lineup, Lively expressed her gratitude via Pop Crave on X: “This is an honor; I will be grateful forever.”

The Gossip Girl alum stated that only one song could perfectly capture the moment, and it was Capaldi’s ‘Love The Hell Out of You’. She assured that viewers would understand the choice once they saw the film. Praising Capaldi not only for his exceptional work but also for who he is as a person, Lively expressed her deep appreciation and humility that Capaldi chose to be part of It Ends With Us.

Although she had already laid bare how much the movie means to her personally, Capaldi’s involvement has clearly elevated her to cloud nine. However, Capaldi was not the only star who made it to the musical credits in It Ends With Us.

As Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us aims to capture some of the success of Deadpool & Wolverine this weekend, one notable aspect beyond its polished presentation is its impressive musical lineup. The film’s first trailer featured Taylor Swift’s ‘My Tears Ricochet,’ also part of the soundtrack along with Ethel Cain’s ‘Strangers,’ another track included in the movie. Cain also performs a cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Everytime’ during the “special thanks” section of the end credits. 

The soundtrack also includes Lana Del Rey’s ‘Cherry,’ Birdy’s ‘Skinny Love,’ and Creed’s ‘With Arms Wide Open.’ Additional tracks featured are ‘Hymn’ by Rhye, ‘Girl in Calico’ by Tow’rs, ‘Everybody Needs A Friend’ by Chyvonne Scott, ‘Money’ by Barrett Strong, ‘Praise You’ by Fatboy Slim, ‘Dawn Chorus’ by Thom Yorke, and ‘White Iverson’ by Post Malone. The list is rounded out by DRAMA’s ‘Dark Rain,’ Cigarettes After Sex’s ‘Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby,’ Dashboard Confessional’s ‘Carry This Picture,’ Brittany Howard’s ‘I Don’t,’ Aldous Harding’s ‘Horizon,’ and Lucinda Williams’ ‘Fruits Of My Labor.’
