JENNIE strides on out with her latest solo cut “Someone to Hold,” which appears on the soundtrack for the forthcoming Netflix animated film, Steps.

On it, she sings: “After, after everything that we’ve been through / The ins and outs, the upside downs and good times too / You’re still the shooting star that’s in my skies / You’re still the only one I want in every life.”

Tranter, who wrote and produced three more original songs for the film’s official soundtrack, has described “Someone to Hold” as “pure danceable joy inspired by vintage organic dance pop.”

Directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, Steps sends the tale of Cinderella in a different direction. According to a statement, Cinderella’s “evil” stepsisters Lilith (Ali Wong) steals the magic wand belonging to the Fairy Godmother (Bette Midler) and hijacks the Royal Ball with Margot (Stephanie Hsu). Enter Priscilla (Nikki Glaser), a “villainous schemer who swoops in and snatches the throne.” With Priscilla in charge, consider the party over. And the happily-ever-after ending ruined.

Realizing her terrible move, Lilith must join forces with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried) in an epic quest, with battles royale and friendships forged along the way.

“We love how Jennie’s bright and spirited ‘Someone To Hold’ represents Lilith, Cinderella, and Margot’s sisterhood, giving audiences a shot of energy and positivity straight to the heart,” Tzue and Ripa comment in a statement.

Steps is produced by Amy Poehler, Jane Hartwell, Kim Lessing, with Poehler and Lessing producing for Paper Kite Productions.

The companion soundtrack arrives Nov. 20, the same day as Steps rolls out on Netflix. JENNIE is coming off her biggest hit as a solo artist with her guest work on Tame Impala’s “Dracula” remix, which went to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart and enjoyed a scary Halloween streaming boost.
