Decoding the Soundtrack of Fate: What’s That Song From “The Sun Is Also a Star” Trailer?

“The Sun Is Also a Star”—remember that movie? Based on Nicola Yoon’s super popular YA novel, it totally grabbed us with its story about love, destiny, and figuring out who you are. And the trailer? Forget about it! The music was just as captivating as the story itself. So, what was that song that perfectly set the stage for this crazy, whirlwind romance?

Okay, so while the movie itself has a bunch of cool songs—Lil Yachty, Phyllis Dillon, even Bazzi make an appearance—the trailer music is a little different, a bit more…intriguing. The first trailer uses a version of “Crimson and Clover” by Tommy James & The Shondells. But here’s the cool part: Charles Melton, who plays Daniel Bae, actually sings a cover of it in a karaoke scene in the trailer! Talk about meta! It adds this whole other layer, because the lyrics are like a sneak peek into their relationship: “Now I don’t hardly know her, but I think I could love her”. Seriously, chills.

But wait, there’s more! The movie’s actual soundtrack, the one that plays in the background, is by Herdís Stefánsdóttir. And let me tell you, it’s good. It’s this dreamy, delicate, yet totally triumphant instrumental vibe that just nails the ups and downs of Natasha and Daniel’s love story. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to stare out a rainy window and contemplate your own destiny, you know?

And if you caught the second trailer, you might remember “Here With Me” by Susie Suh & Robot Koch. That one’s a real heart-tugger, perfectly capturing that feeling of being separated from someone you love. Makes you wonder if Natasha and Daniel are meant to be, right?

Honestly, the music in “The Sun Is Also a Star” isn’t just some random background noise. It’s like another character in the story, adding depth and emotion. From “Crimson and Clover” to Daniel’s karaoke moment to Stefánsdóttir’s gorgeous score, the whole soundtrack pulls you right into Natasha and Daniel’s world, where love and fate are all tangled up together. And who doesn’t love a good love-and-fate story?
