Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Idea of You features quite a few original songs by the fictional boy band August Moon. Although the Prime Video movie, which was directed by The Big Sick's Michael Showalter, primarily blends the romance, comedy, and drama genres, it could also be considered a musical due to the sheer amount of original songs contained on its soundtrack.
7 "I Got You" Written By Babyface, ILYA, And Savan Kotecha The Idea of You movie pays homage to Harry Styles' boy band days in many ways. One of those is the lyrical content and orchestration of "I Got You" capturing the feel of early downtempo One Direction songs such as "Little Things" and Gotta Be You," with the latter song, which was the second single from the real-life band's first album, seemingly providing the inspiration for the title.
6 "Taste " Written By Albin Nedler, Carl Falk, And Savan Kotecha This track is a remix of an original August Moon song featured elsewhere in The Idea of You. The mix was done by Dutch-Moroccan DJ R3HAB, adding yet another layer of the contemporary music scene into the movie, which includes sequences set at the real-life Coachella as well as references to iconic real-life artists including Fiona Apple between the performances and storylines featuring the fictional band.
However, "Guard Down" feels first and foremost like a song by Bruno Mars. Mars, who is also known for blending genres from across cultures and throughout time, is a solid musical influence for any performer, but his sound is too distinctive to blend well with the rest of August Moon's tracks, which match the One Direction energy a bit better.
However, it is somewhat less compelling than other August Moon tracks when listened to out of context. Given its glossy production and impersonal lyrics, it is also the song that feels most like it could be dropped into any story or commercial and still function properly, rather than being born out of the circumstances of the exact movie in which it is playing.
In addition to allowing the audience to gain some insight into the inner workings of the band, this song underscores the way that Hayes is opening up to Solène and making himself vulnerable in a way that compels her to fall in love with him despite her misgivings about their respective ages. On top of its function as a storytelling tool, the acoustic version of "Dance Before We Walk" also functions quite well musically.
