Carrie Underwood and Dan + Shay perform the collaboration “Only Us” on the Dear Evan Hansen (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), which comes out September 24th (next Friday).

Carrie says she was honored to sing with Dan + Shay on “Only Us.” “I did get the privilege and honor to get to sing with Dan + Shay on the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack, singing a song called ‘Only Us,’” says Carrie. “I knew Dan + Shay, they were a huge fan of Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway. I had not seen it on Broadway. I only got to watch the movie kind of in secret. I got to screen it, and I loved the movie and loved the music in it. Obviously, music is what I do. I love it when I get to go watch a movie or go see a theater production and people are just crushing it musically. It was just such a great song and I could immediately hear us singing on it together, and I’m just honored to be a part of this really cool project.”

The soundtrack also features performances by Sam Smith with Summer Walker, SZA,   FINNEAS and Tori Kelly. Plus, the 16-track album features new recordings by the film cast of these beloved songs with music and lyrics by the Oscar^®, Grammy^®, and Tony^® winning songwriting team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman). Among the new songs, the Soundtrack also includes “A Little Closer” performed by Colton Ryan and “The Anonymous Ones” performed by Amandla Stenberg, who co-wrote the lyrics and music with Pasek and Paul. FINNEAS and SZA add their renditions of these originals to the soundtrack.

Dear Evan Hansen opened on Broadway in December 2016 and became a generation-defining phenomenon, winning six Tony Awards, including for Best Musical and for Ben Platt as Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical. The show’s cast album would go on to earn a Grammy^®.

Now, in the film, Ben Platt returns as Evan Hansen, an anxious, isolated high schooler aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social-media age.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Wonder), the film is written for the screen by the show’s Tony^® winner Steven Levenson with music and lyrics by Pasek & Paul. Dear Evan Hansen stars six-time Oscar^® nominee Amy Adams, Oscar^® winner Julianne Moore, Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give), Colton Ryan (Little Voice), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Danny Pino (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit).

The film is produced by Marc Platt (La La Land, Into the Woods, Mary Poppins Returns) and Adam Siegel (2 Guns, Drive), and is executive produced by Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Michael Bederman and Stacey Mindich.
