Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten” has charted in the UK again – almost 20 years on from its initial release – after featuring in the romcom, Anyone But You.
The film stars Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell as Bea and Ben, who go on a date after an awkward first encounter in a coffee shop, they go on a date, but things soon turn sour.
However, after the pair unexpectedly find themselves at the Australian wedding of a mutual friend, they’re forced to reconnect.
One of the film’s most notable scenes, involving the pair being airlifted out of Sydney Harbour after falling out off a boat, features 2004 hit “Unwritten.” It’s Bea’s favourite song and she suggests they sing it to distract themselves from their situation.
The track, which was also famously used as the theme song for noughties reality series The Hills, has since enjoyed a revival similar to that of “Murder On The Dancefloor – which features in Saltburn – coming into the charts at number 18. It peaked at number six originally.
