THE SOUNDTRACK

The message behind the campaign is underscored by the film's soundtrack, a remake of "How Lovely to be a Woman" by Ann-Margret from the 1963 musical "Bye Bye Birdie." By pairing the iconic lyrics and remixed melody with vignettes of the five multihyphenate women's lives, the campaign effectively subverts the message of the original song and reclaims it as a celebratory anthem of women's empowerment, strength and confidence.

A celebration of modern womanhood, the campaign intends to capture the pleasures and pressures of simply being a woman in the world today.
