XCX and Antonoff will write original songs for Mother Mary, presumably those belonging to Hathaway's character. The movie will have an original score composed by Daniel Hart.

This marks the latest collaboration between A24 and XCX. Her song "Hot Girl" was used on the soundtrack to last year's Bodies Bodies Bodies and was released on the Oscar-winning studio's in-house record label. Her latest album CRASH was released in 2022 and was named as one of The FADER's best albums of the year. More recently she shared a remix of Caroline Polachek's "Welcome To My Island."
