This WishAriana DeBose
Ariana DeBose, known as an actress and singer—have you checked out her song “This Wish” yet? It’s the theme song for Disney’s 100th-anniversary film, Wish.
When the song debuted in the trailer, word of mouth spread quickly.
Her crystal-clear high notes resonate beautifully and elevate the story, while her occasional lower register adds a powerful presence—that contrast is part of its charm.
She WasCamille
The film Elisabeth 1878 portrays the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria.
The song playing in its trailer is She Was, a track released by the French singer Camille.
The title means “She was [something],” and in the song various situations in a woman’s life are likened to animals.
Listening to it as a whole, you can tell it depicts a woman’s entire life.
It’s also nice to listen to it while reflecting on Elisabeth.

The action film Operation Fortune, starring Jason Statham.
Many of you were probably curious about the moody song that played in the trailer.
The title of that song is Sway, performed by Dean Martin, the singer also famous as a member of the Rat Pack.
Its lyrics depict the use of skillful romantic techniques.
It feels like a good match with a film featuring highly professional characters.

It’s Raining MenDeathbyRomy
Have you checked out Promising Young Woman yet? Beyond its story and performances, the film also drew attention for its use of music.
Famous songs play one after another, and the way they’re used makes the lyrics feel like they take on new meanings.
In the opening, It’s Raining Men is played.
While the original is by Geri Halliwell, the version used is a cover by Romy Flores.
Policy Of TruthDepeche Mode
The mystery film Death on the Nile, featuring the famed detective Hercule Poirot.
The song that amps up its trailer, Policy of Truth, is by Depeche Mode, a British new wave band active since the 1980s.
Its lyrics—pressing someone who’s keeping secrets with the warning “If you keep lying, you’ll pay the price!”—and its dark atmosphere match the film’s content perfectly.
The track is included on their seventh album, Violator, released in 1990.
The Next Episode (ft. Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Nate Dogg)Dr. Dre
The track used in the teaser released ahead of the movie Slum Dogs, which features a dog abandoned by its owner as the protagonist, is The Next Episode by hip-hop producer Dr.
Dre.
It’s a single from his 1999 album 2001, featuring rappers Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, and Nate Dogg.
The simple guitar riff is striking, sampled from David Axelrod’s The Edge, which is the original source.
Dance The NightDua Lipa
British singer-songwriter Dua Lipa.
She wrote “Dance The Night” for the film Beaver.
It’s an upbeat disco track.
With the title phrase and its bright, poppy vibe, many listeners will find it cheerful.
However, the lyrics carry a deeper message: “keep dancing through the sorrow.” That’s why I think it’s perfect both for when you want to get hyped and when you feel like getting a bit sentimental.
