Hailee Steinfeld released a new song on Friday, and her husband got a cameo. "Magic" is her cover of the 1980s hit by The Cars, recorded for Disney's upcoming animated film "Hexed." Issue 108 of her newsletter, Beau Society, landed the same day with a look behind the scenes. It included a photo of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the studio, headset on, facing a computer. Steinfeld sat on a black couch behind him.

Steinfeld captioned the photo "Spouses listening session." Allen appears to be hearing the track through the headset, and his wife looks on from the couch. For a man who spends his autumn Sundays dodging pass rushers, it was a quiet, off-field moment.

The picture runs inside a Q&A built from a 20-minute FaceTime call between Steinfeld and Demitri Lerios, her best friend since preschool. Lerios also produced "Magic." That means the person behind the controls knew her sound long before this project began. The "Hawkeye" actress used the conversation to explain why she prefers to make music with people she knows well.

"There's nothing like working on a song with somebody who you have a great rapport with. I mean, there's nothing worse than being in a session with someone you can't stand, who doesn't have the same taste as you, or who's not on the same page. It feels like a total task," Steinfeld said.

The photo of Allen sits right after that answer. Readers can draw their own conclusions about why it was placed there.

Allen has long been a visible supporter of Steinfeld's career, and this image added to that record. It also gave fans a different view of the couple. Instead of a stadium or a red carpet, the setting was a studio with a computer, a couch and a pair of headphones.

Lerios shared Steinfeld's view. A producer sees singers at their most exposed, he said, and the room needs the right people in it. That matters most when a song is still being shaped and the vocals are fresh.

"Especially when you're singing. It's a very vulnerable thing. It's a very vulnerable process to get there and open up."

Their history gave "Magic" a head start. The pair have known each other since preschool, so there was no awkward warm-up phase. Steinfeld could try ideas, and Lerios could respond with the ease of an old friend.

The song itself is a fresh take on a familiar 1980s title. It arrives as Disney builds toward "Hexed," its upcoming animated movie. Fans who want to hear how Steinfeld reworked the original can find "Magic" now, and the newsletter offers a glimpse of the people who helped make it.
