'The Idea of You' music supervisor Frankie Pine and music producer Savan Kotecha on how they built the boy band August Moon around Nicholas Galitzine.

. The group’s backstory isn’t too far off from the tried and true narratives of real-life boy bands — executives hosting trainee camps and talent show auditions that tell hopeful solo artists: “We’ll make your dreams come true, but only if you achieve them alongside the four strangers we’re going to put you in a group with.” And even if it isn’t exactly what they want, they learn to love it, at least for a little while.

“I Got You” is a big pure pop radio hit, one of the only pre-existing songs on the soundtrack, and features production from Ilya and Babyface. “It goes into making it authentic, in the sense of — their first singlebe like, well, we’ve got these hitmakers that have this one song, let’s record it with this band,” Kotecha says. Elsewhere, “Taste” lays the groundwork for a bit more maturity on what would be their second album.

The four other actors that makeup August Moon primarily have backgrounds in dance, something that Galitzine initially shied away from. “He immediately was like, ‘I don’t dance,’” Pine recalls. “I was like, oh we’ll make it so.” The actor briefly tested the waters as a leading artist in 2022 with the one-off single “Comfort,” a mid-tempo pop track about navigating mental roadblocks. The song has amassed more than 7 million streams on Spotify. “I have some friends who are musicians and pop stars. And the lifestyle to me — it’s so crazy. I have such admiration for them because whether you’re going on tour or performing in front of 80,000 people, it’s just entirely different,” Galitzine told.
