Music plays an absolutely central role in new Netflix movie Purple Hearts \u2013 a romantic drama that tells the story of an aspiring singer-songwriter and a soldier who fall hopelessly in love despite their differences.<\/p>\n

Singer and actress Sofia Carson takes on the lead role of Cassie, and sings many of the songs on the film\u2019s soundtrack \u2013 both original compositions she co-wrote with Justin Tranter and covers of well-known hits including Neil Diamond\u2019s Sweet Caroline.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it came time to begin the songwriting process for our soundtrack, Les, Liz, Elysa and Netflix trusted me to choose who I wanted to collaborate with to bring the music to life,\u201d Carson explained in the film\u2019s press notes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first person that came to my mind and heart was the incomparable Justin Tranter. Justin is one of the most renowned writers of our time, with an incredible gift to write songs adored by the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a bona fide hitmaker with multiple collaborations with Lady Gaga and songs like \u2018Sorry\u2019 for Justin Bieber and \u2018Lose You to Love Me\u2019 with Selena Gomez,\u201d added director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, who also explained that the music in the film changed rather a lot during the development process.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally, the script was set in Austin and there were shades of Country in the music, but, once we changed it to California, we decided to go more pop singer\/songwriter,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great exercise to pull from the script and track Cassie\u2019s evolution through the songs she\u2019s writing. We got to essentially \u2018sing the subtext,\u2019 which enriched the storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can find the full soundtrack list below, including four\u00a0original songs \u2013 Come Back Home, Blue Side of the Sky, I Hate the Way and I Didn\u2019t Know.<\/p>\n
