"Steal The Show" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lauv, from the soundtrack to Disney/Pixar's 2023 film Elemental. The film's composer Thomas Newman and Michael Matosic respectively handled the music and lyrics with Lauv. The song plays during the montage of the dates of Ember Lumen and Wade Ripple, two of the main characters, respectively, as well as the end credits. It was released on June 2, 2023 as a single, two weeks before the film's release.
Background
On June 2, 2023, it was announced that Lauv performed the original song called "Steal the Show" that played during Ember and Wade's dates as well as end credits, which was released that day.{{Cite web |title=Lauv's Original Song "Steal the Show" from Pixar's Elemental Released|url=https://filmmusicreporter.com/2022/06/14/lightyear-soundtrack-album-details/ |website=Film Music Reporter |access-date=June 3, 2023 }} Early in production, director Peter Sohn, who used one of Lauv's songs as a placeholder, stated "we finally got the chance to work with him, I referenced his music and how we were using it. He captured the beauty [Ember and Wade] saw in each other and how it could be something more. We were so emotional when we first heard his song. It was overwhelming and we feel absolutely indebted to what he gave the film."{{Cite web |last=Betti |first=Tony |date=2023-06-02 |title=Lauv's "Steal The Show" From Pixar's Elemental Now Streaming Ahead Of Full Soundtrack Release On June 16 |url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2023/06/02/elemental-steal-the-show/ |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=LaughingPlace.com |language=en-US}} On writing the song, Lauv sat down with Thomas Newman, who gave him a couple of sounds that he was working with.{{Cite web|last=|date=June 3, 2023|title=Elemental Soundtrack Details – "Steal the Show" by Lauv & Thomas Newman |url=https://pixarpost.com/2023/06/elemental-soundtrack-details.html|access-date=June 9, 2023|website=Pixar Post|language=en-US}}
