Can't Catch Me Now - The Hunger Games (Olivia Rodrigo) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Olivia Rodrigo penned this fireside folk-pop anthem with its producer Dan Nigro for the soundtrack to 2023 blockbuster The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. A deft exercise in soft/loud dynamics anchored by a windswept build-up, this dramatic track tells the tale of Lucy Gray's vengeful retribution. Between plucked acoustic guitar and gentle washes of strings, Olivia Rodrigo's sweet-toned vocal harmonies uncurl like leafy tendrils in sunlight as the song segues into its explosive, nature-themed chorus ("But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze / My footsteps on the ground"). "Can't Catch Me Now" picked up the Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Original Song in a Sci-Fi, Fantasy or Horror Film at the 2023 ceremony and arrived hot on the heels of GUTS: Olivia Rodrigo's knockout second album for which she received six Grammy nominations, including her second consecutive Album of the Year nod.
