“Another scene that’s been going around is Hannah’s karaoke of “Cherry Pie” after seeing Garrett hook up to that song. What made you land on that song for this moment?”
Krieg Thomas: That was tricky, and that song was not in the script. Much credit just has to go to the brilliant writers, and Louisa [Levy] and Gina [Fattore] for making musical storytelling so key to the fabric of the show — it was always by design, to my memory, that the song that was playing when Garrett was hooking up was going to be the song that returned for karaoke. It was a really hard spot — I think that we sent a few different rounds because it needed to feel like something Garrett would put on for a hookup, and lyrically make sense for that. But then it also needed to serve this purpose of being a karaoke song that Hannah could sing that would be fun still for her to sing and living in Garrett’s classic rock playlist land. You needed to find something that could still really be playful and be this sort of push and pull moment, as for the performance, and as Garrett’s watching her, and lyrically speak to, in some kind of way, this shifting dynamic between the two of them … and something that Ella could sing, and the performance itself would be really interesting.
Romanoff: The whole time you’re also building the arc of Hannah as a musician and as a musical person, and the idea that she could take this classic rock song, but do these little riffs — there’s a lot of stuff that’s built in, which is so much credit to our music producer, Alana Da Fonseca … her and Ella worked on it [and] they found those spots to make it be … it’s them — it’s the couple of Hannah and Garrett. It’s flirty, it’s fun, but it’s also showing Hannah’s music skills evolving from composer to performer, which is where she ends up. We did want to showcase that — we haven’t really seen her perform in public yet, but she totally can do it, and look, how everyone freaks out when she does.
