Rewrite The Stars

About this song

This version of the song was recorded for the soundtrack of The Greatest Showman, where it became the soundtrack's most streamed track. Atlantic Records president Kevin Weaver wanted artists as urgent and relevant as the original recording, and he recruited James Arthur and Anne-Marie, two of England's most popular rising stars, to support the UK market, which accounted for a majority of the streams. James Arthur agreed partly because he loved the film's music and partly because Anne-Marie was his duet partner. Weaver expects the new version to be received as well as the original, if not better.
