Phoebe Bridgers Drops Haunting ‘On Video’ From Soundtrack to Robert Pattinson ‘Primetime’ Film

The singer also makes her acting debut in director Lance Oppenheim's thriller about To Catch a Predator's Chris Hansen.

Phoebe Bridgers surprise dropped the roiling new song “On Video” on Friday morning (Sept. 25), her contribution to the soundtrack for director Lance Oppenheim’s anticipated psychological crime thriller about To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen. The murky, dense rock song that will play over the end credits of Oppenheim’s narrative film debut — he co-directed Nathan Fielder’s buzzy Elizabeth Holmes doc You Can See Everything — alongside an original score from the director’s frequent collaborator Ari Balouzian.

The song written specifically for the film spins up over gently strummed guitars as Bridgers whisper sings, “Face painted white With blue butterflies/ Wasting wishes on the world/ You could go home/ But you would be alone,” before picking up intensity as it divebombs into the grungy, distorted guitars chorus.
