"Steal The Show" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lauv, from the soundtrack to Disney/Pixar's 2023 film Elemental. The film's composer Thomas Newman and Michael Matosic respectively handled the music and lyrics with Lauv. The song plays during the montage of the dates of Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple, two of the main characters, respectively, as well as the end credits. It was released on June 2, 2023 as a single, two weeks before the film's release.

Background

On June 2, 2023, it was announced that Lauv performed the original song called "Steal the Show" that played during Ember and Wade's dates as well as end credits, which was released that day.[1] Early in production, director Peter Sohn, who actually used one of Lauv's songs as a placeholder, loves Lauv's music that he says when "we finally got the chance to work with him, I referenced his music and how we were using it. He captured the beauty [Ember and Wade] saw in each other and how it could be something more. We were so emotional when we first heard his song. It was overwhelming and we feel absolutely indebted to what he gave the film."[2] On writing the song, Lauv sat down with Thomas Newman, who gave him a couple of sounds that he was working with.[3]

Music video

On June 2, 2023, an official audio video of the song was released.[4] On July 1, 2023, the official music video of the song was released.[5] The music video features the first date of Ember and Wade.

Reception

Tom Jorgensen of Next Best Picture praised the original song, stating: "The song "Steal The Show" by Lauv, which plays during Wade and Ember's first date, is a winning track that should enjoy some decent radio play and also aids in giving the film its feel-good vibe."[6]
