The movie as well as the song’s playlist is worth every penny spent.
‘I ain’t worried’ by One Republic and ‘Hold my hand’ by Lady Gaga were released as singles before the release of the whole album. Both songs did well on their own. They even got their own music videos which garnered millions of views.
