Williams reportedly wrote the lyrics to “Decode” and went to Hardwicke directly. Fun fact: when Williams first played the song for her bandmates, they initially thought the lyrics were too “harsh” until she explained what the book was about.
“Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse
Sorry Muse, but this song will forever be known as The Baseball Song. Hardwicke even told INSIDERthis past November, in a retrospective for the film’s 12th anniversary, that they “did not ever have another song because we knew how much Stephenie loved Muse.” This is one song that was for sure a home run.
