Yesterday afternoon, Bruce Springsteen shared, to social media, a 29-second preview of “Addicted to Romance,” a new song he has written for the movie “She Came to Me.” And at midnight, the entire song was posted to YouTube.
It’s a world-weary, bar-set love song, featuring Patti Scialfa on backing vocals, and is somewhat reminiscent of “Tougher Than the Rest,” with lines such as “if this isn’t love, my dear, it’s more than what we planned.”
The song’s credits, in addition to Springsteen and Scialfa, include Ron Aniello on keyboards and production, Benjamin Lanz on trombone, Kyle Resnick on trumpet, with Bryce Dessner producing the orchestra, and André De Ridder conducting the orchestra.
“She Came to Me” is a romantic comedy co-starring Peter Dinklage, Marisa Tomei and Anne Hathaway. According to publicity material, it “tells the story of composer Steven Lauddem (Peter Dinklage), who is creatively blocked and unable to finish the score for his highly anticipated comeback opera. At the behest of his wife Patricia (Anne Hathaway), formerly his therapist, he sets out in search of inspiration. What he discovers is much more than he bargained for or ever imagined.”
The movie will be released on October 6th
