New Netflix film, Luckiest Girl Alive is the latest movie offering to capture the zeitgeist, adapting the best-selling book of the same name by Jessica Knoll.
The film stars Mila Kunis as Ani Fanelli, a successful New York writer whose life begins to unravel after a true crime documentary confronts her with trauma from her teenage past.
With a plot that jumps between time periods, the soundtrack is essential to helping the viewer place the timing of certain scenes – and is also a great excuse to play some classics from the last decade or so.
So if you’ve had some of these tunes ever since or are curious about the brand-new end credits song, read on below.
Luckiest Girl Alive Score
The musical score for the film was composed by Linda Perry, who also wrote the closing song I Know Where I’ve Been.
Perry is best known for being the lead singer and primary songwriter of the iconic alternative rock band 4 Non Blondes, before leaving to pursue a solo career.
She has since composed and produced for the likes of Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Ariana Grande and Christina Aguilera, as well as signing and distributing James Blunt.
