Music and Lyrics (2007) is a lighthearted romantic comedy that pairs Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore in a charming story about second chances and unexpected connections. The film follows Alex Fletcher (Grant), a washed-up 1980s pop star trying to revive his career by writing a hit song for a contemporary pop sensation. Sophie Fisher (Barrymore), an aspiring writer with a knack for lyrics, reluctantly becomes his collaborator. As they work together, their creative partnership blossoms into romance, and the film explores themes of redemption, love, and the power of music.

The soundtrack of Music and Lyrics is a delightful blend of original songs and nostalgic 1980s-style pop hits that perfectly complement the film's tone. The standout track, "Way Back Into Love," showcases the characters’ journey and becomes an emotional centerpiece of the story. Hugh Grant’s playful performances and the catchy, humorous tracks like "Pop! Goes My Heart" add a fun, authentic touch to the film’s fictional music world. The soundtrack not only enhances the narrative but also stands on its own as a tribute to the enduring appeal of well-crafted pop music.
