Lady A (The Best of Me soundtrack) OC: …could do it. :51
“We were approached by the writers of the film to come up with a song for the Nicholas Sparks movie. It’s fun – we’ve never really had that much of a story sent to us and tried to write a song to that. We’ve done stuff like that in the past a little bit, but they sent us the full script to the entire movie pretty much, and we had a synopsis too that we worked mostly off of, but it was fine. Nicholas Sparks’ movies are obviously very romantic driven and great love stories. Monty Powell came out on the road with us and we wrote for the film, and it’s a song called ‘I Did With You.’ It was fun to follow different scenes in the movie and be able to put that in a song, and we actually got to see the movie recently, and it was fun actually to see up on the screen how our song is going to fit in there. So, it was a really cool opportunity and happy we could do it.”
