Fans will be delighted to know that Harry’s 2017 single’s string arrangement will actually play as background music in Bridgerton. And that too during one of the climactic scenes of the new season of the Netflix Original drama series. And to add to that, it will repeatedly pause and play, which will further enhance our experience and the gravity of the situation for anyone who is part of the scene. “The recording has a couple short pauses before blasting into this gorgeous big swell of strings at the end,” revealed Justin Kamps, music supervisor for Bridgerton.

It also helps the editors to build around the pauses of the songs; it makes it easier to land those perfect moments where things are to be revealed. Justin also explained that all the breaks and flows are planned. “All the swells and swirling strings are very deliberate and build to this perfect moment,” he explained.

For the cover of ‘Sign of the Times’, Steve Horner, the composer for Bridgerton, used both shorter sampled strings and longer played strings. And he even laid all of them on his own by “blowing the notes rather than bowing them,” which created an authentic Regency vibe around the piece of music. Undoubtedly, this is something that Bridgerton is always looking for.
However, this is not the only song that will get a string arrangement. Check the list of all the songs from Bridgerton Season 2 here!
