Writing and recording

In August 2021 it was announced that Carson would star in Purple Hearts, for which she would also write and perform the soundtrack. [4] In a exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter Carson revealed that Netflix and her producing team trusted her with the music and to pick her writing partners. The first one she reached out to was Justin Tranter. [5]

In an interview with Billboard, Carson explained that she has been writing songs since she was eleven years old, but she only wrote songs for herself, not from someone's else point of view. [6] In the interview she says, "I was most definitely writing from Cassie’s point of view. We wanted to kind of capture that essence for Cassie, that inspiration would hit based on the things that were happening to her in her life."

While speaking to The Wrap , Carson said that the first song that Tranter and her wrote was "Hate the Way". While they were writing for the soundtrack, Carson explained in the interview that the two of them worked so hard to make sure that Cassie was so unique, and so different from how Carson is with her music, from the way that she talks to the way she carries herself on stage. "You know, she’s indie. She’s rock. I’ve never done something like that before. When we recorded "Hate the Way" Justin was like, "You’ve never sung like that before. I think we found Cassie’s voice." And it was so thrilling." [7]

Promotion and release

In June 2022 Netflix released the first sneak peek for the film that previews Cassie playing "Come Back Home" on her piano while on a video call with Luke. [8] The trailer for the film was released on July 12, 2022, [9] the same day Hollywood Records released "Come Back Home" as the lead single. [10] Two music videos for the song was released, one on August 3, 2022, that shows Carson performing a stripped-down version on her piano while performing it on the same beach that is in the film, [11] and the other was released on August 5, 2022, that shows the full performance in Oceanside, CA outside the gates of Camp Pendleton.
